Why boards use BoardSpace Find
Your board's full history — every meeting, motion, document, and action — searchable in seconds, no matter how far back it goes.
Your board's full history, searchable in seconds
Every motion, document, action, and minute in BoardSpace is keyword-searchable. Find what was decided three years ago without asking someone who might not remember — or who's no longer on the board.
Search the way you think, not the way files are named
Enter any keyword related to what you're looking for and BoardSpace searches across everything. You don't need to know the exact document name or which meeting it came from.
Know exactly what's happening and who did what
The activity trail shows who uploaded or deleted a document, who completed an action, and when changes were made — so your board always has a clear, accountable record of activity across the whole organization.
features
What's included
Two powerful tools — keyword search and activity tracking — that give your board complete visibility into its history and governance record.
Keyword search
Search across everything
Every meeting, motion, document, action, and minute in BoardSpace is searchable from one place. Enter any keyword and results appear across your entire organizational history — going back to day one.
Refine to what you need
Narrow results to a specific content type — motions, documents, actions, or minutes — and filter by date range. Looking for a specific motion? Filter to motions only and enter a keyword that would have appeared in it.
Jump straight to the original record
Every search result links directly to the original item — click a motion and you go straight to the meeting it came from, with full context intact. No hunting after you've found it.
No expertise required
BoardSpace search is designed for volunteer directors, not IT professionals. Enter plain language keywords — not Boolean operators or advanced syntax. If you can type, you can search.
Activity tracking
Follow activity
See who uploaded or deleted a document, who added or completed an action, and when new directors were added to the board. Every significant action in BoardSpace leaves a trail — full accountability, always visible.
Institutional memory that doesn't walk out the door
When directors change, your board's full history stays in BoardSpace — searchable and accessible to everyone. New directors can find decisions made before they joined without relying on whoever's been around longest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about searching your board's full history and tracking activity in BoardSpace.
Do I need to be an expert to use the search?
No. BoardSpace search is designed for volunteer directors, not IT professionals. Type any keyword that relates to what you're looking for — a contractor name, a topic, a phrase — and BoardSpace does the rest. No Boolean operators, no advanced syntax, no expertise required.
Can I really find a motion from a meeting held two years ago?
Yes. Enter a keyword that would have appeared in the motion, filter the results to motions only, and BoardSpace searches your entire history. The motion — and the meeting it came from — will appear in seconds. It works the same way for documents, actions, and minutes.
What can I search across?
What happens when I click a search result?
You go directly to the original record — not just a summary of it. Click a motion result, and you land on the full meeting it came from, with all the surrounding context intact.
How far back does the search go?
Search covers your entire BoardSpace history from the day your organization was set up. There's no archive cutoff — if it was entered into BoardSpace, it's searchable.
