iManage Search

What’s New

You can now find documents across your iManage content from inside Harvey or the Harvey Word add-in, without picking files manually. Describe what you're looking for in your own words, and Harvey will find the most relevant matters, folders, and files. For example:

• "Find prior limitation-of-liability clauses in our services agreements with EU counterparties."
• "What positions have we taken on indemnification carve-outs in our healthcare services agreements?"
• “Find my Acme supply agreement precedent and compare the termination clause with this Word document.”

Harvey returns an answer with citations that link back to the original documents. Existing iManage permissions are honored throughout. You can only find what you can already see in iManage.

Why It Matters

iManage Search gives you another way to find the right document for a matter. Instead of locating a file yourself and uploading it, you can describe what you need and let Harvey search your iManage content for you, then work from a cited answer in the same place you're already working, including inside Word.

How To Use

FAQs

Q: How does Harvey's iManage Search compare to iManage's own search?

Harvey's iManage Search uses iManage's own search APIs. For a simple keyword lookup of a single known file, there is no meaningful difference between running the query in iManage and running it in Harvey.

Harvey adds value when you want more than simple keyword. It plans the search, chooses appropriate parameters from the context of your work, runs multiple steps if needed, and brings the results into your draft or answer. Examples include finding precedent clauses to inform a draft and surfacing prior firm positions on a topic.

Q: How does iManage Search compare to using Vault?

The fundamental difference is where documents live. Through iManage Search, you’re able to discover files stored in iManage and not Harvey. With Vault, your documents are synced over and stored in the Harvey platform. Searching over Vault files is generally faster and will lead to better results for more abstract and complex queries.
