Field notes
The page describes source details for individual files as well as grouped views, including examples such as Gmail, ChatGPT and AirDrop. Its browser demo runs the search rules against made-up files, so it illustrates the filter behavior without showing a user’s own library. The feature list also includes copying text from images and scanned PDFs.
