Search Function
Intelligent Search
Organizations struggle to navigate a growing sea of data. As data volume surges, finding and using the right data becomes impossible. Democratize access to enterprise data and foster a robust data culture with Intelligent Search.
Universal Search
Is your data decentralized – spread across databases, lakehouses, file systems, and more? Alation's AI-driven universal search bar makes it easy to search all sources at once. Quickly browse and discover the most relevant, trusted data. Alation accepts and understands the meaning of queries in natural language, sharing contextual results based on meaning, and democratizing data access to anyone in the organization.
Advanced search
Pinpoint the right data rapidly. Starting with semantic and keyword-driven search, efficiently find contextual information in seconds. Advanced search filters let you narrow down results by object type. Sort by custom tags relevant to your focus, or organize by quality, spotlighting data that is endorsed or deprecated. Save your custom searches to easily run them again.
Search API
Leverage a variety of flexible APIs on Alation's open and extensible platform. Connect developers to the asset they need with the Search API, where they can find data sources, schemas, tables, columns, or attributes through a custom field.
Alation Marketplaces
Augment your enterprise data with certified, trusted information. Alation Marketplaces connects you to high-value, third-party datasets to uncover new insights. Search across multiple data marketplaces – including Snowflake Data Exchange, Datarade, and public sources like data.gov – from one spot.
