Knowledge
The Knowledge tab in Customize is where you give AWS Quick access to files on your computer and control how Quick indexes them. For each folder, choose whether Quick uploads its files for full-content search, extracts information from them into your knowledge graph, both, or neither. When you add a folder, Quick can read its files on your computer, but it doesn't upload them until you turn on indexing.
Indexing options
Open a folder's details pane and choose Settings to find these options under Indexing.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Allow full file context for enhanced searching | Uploads and indexes this folder's files so Quick can search across their full content, including in scheduled and background work. When this option is on, it shows estimated monthly usage as a percentage of the monthly indexing budget. |
| Always remember file information | Uploads this folder's files and extracts people, projects, and dates from them into your knowledge graph. When this option is on, it shows estimated monthly usage as a percentage of the monthly budget available for extraction. |
| Agent access | Lets Quick read files from this folder. A folder in your list always has agent access, so turning this off removes the folder. Quick asks you to confirm first. |
Details
The Details tab reports Files, Size, and Entities extracted. Entities extracted shows a dash until you turn on Always remember file information. Choose Files to jump to the advanced settings. Choose Sync at the top of the pane to pick up changes immediately.
Advanced settings
Choose Advanced on the Settings tab to reach the per-folder indexing controls. Scan interval (every 30 minutes) and Max file size are read-only; files larger than the maximum are skipped. You can set Max file age to index only files modified within a window, restrict File extensions, add Exclude patterns as glob patterns that Quick never indexes, and give knowledge graph extraction instructions to guide entity extraction. Rescan folder picks up changes incrementally. Rebuild index rebuilds from scratch and shows a cost estimate first.
Search indexing limits
Global search-indexing limits apply across all indexed folders. Indexing stops automatically when free disk space falls below 8.0 GiB. You set a storage limit for the knowledge database, a maximum file size for indexing (larger files are skipped but remain available through direct search), and a maximum folder size for indexing.
Folder access permissions
Quick uses operating system sandboxing to control file access. It can reach only the folders that you grant, and you can revoke access at any time by turning off Agent access for a folder. Each folder also has its own settings for keyword search, semantic search, and knowledge graph extraction, as described in Indexing options.
Quick can also reach the system temporary folders, whatever your folder
permissions are. On Windows, these are C:\TEMP, C:\TMP,
\TEMP, and \TMP. On macOS, these are
/tmp, /var/tmp, and /usr/tmp.
