Searching your Honeit calls

Use keywords and operators to search your Honeit calls.

Written by Ezgi Bilici

Honeit's search bar supports powerful, Google-style searching so you can quickly find exactly the calls you're looking for. Here's everything you can do.

The Basics

Type any word into the search bar and Honeit will find all calls where that word appears — in transcripts, skill tags, highlights, and more. Search is not case-sensitive, so Engineer, engineer, and ENGINEER all return the same results.

When you type multiple words with a space between them, Honeit treats it as an AND search — meaning it only returns calls that contain all of the words you typed.


Operators

AND — require multiple terms

Use AND (uppercase) between two words to find calls that mention both.

python AND javascript

You can also use an ampersand (&) or prefix each word with a plus sign (+). All three do the same thing.

python & javascript +python +javascript


OR — find either term

Use OR (uppercase) between two words to find calls that mention either one (or both).

python OR ruby

You can also separate terms with a comma.

python, ruby


Minus sign — exclude a term

Put a minus sign (-) directly in front of a word (no space) to exclude calls that contain it. Use this instead of the word not.

python -javascript — finds calls mentioning Python but not JavaScript


Quotes — exact phrase match

Wrap a phrase in double quotes to search for that exact phrase rather than the individual words separately.

"machine learning" "software engineer" "hiring manager"

Without quotes, Honeit searches for each word individually and may surface skill tags or highlights that match the terms in any context. Quotes help Honeit treat your words as a phrase rather than separate terms.


Asterisk — wildcard

Add an asterisk (*) to the end of a word to match any variation of that word.

manage* — finds manager, management, managers, managing, etc. develop* — finds developer, development, developing, etc.


Quick Reference

What you want to do

Example

Search for a single word

Require two words

python AND javascript

Find calls with either word

python OR ruby

Exclude a word

python -javascript

Search an exact phrase

"machine learning"

Match word variations

manage*

A Few Things to Note

AND and OR must be uppercase. Typing and or or in lowercase will be treated as a regular search word, not an operator.

Use the minus sign to exclude, not the word NOT. Typing python NOT javascript will not exclude JavaScript from results. Use python -javascript instead.

The pipe symbol (|) is not supported. Use OR instead.

Single-character wildcards are not supported. The ? wildcard does not work. Use * for wildcard matching.
