Medical record search software that works by meaning, not just the exact word: plain-English semantic search across the whole file, so synonyms stop hiding evidence. One query runs across every document, and every hit links straight to its source page, highlighted. Search finds the page; chat answers the question. [Test a file ](https://medrecords.ai/test-a-file/?src=product-medical-record-search) [Book a demo](https://medrecords.ai/demo/) Adams, T. — right knee · Case #IME-4812 342 pages complaints of knee instability "knee keeps giving way" Semantic match — no keyword overlap Progress note · p.212 "buckling on stairs" Semantic match PT evaluation · p.171 "feels unstable when descending" Semantic match Ortho consult · p.87 Meaning matched across the whole file · every hit cited Whole-file scope Every document searched at once, all 342 pages Meaning matched "Giving way" found when you search "instability" Every hit cited One click from result to source page ### Semantic, so synonyms stop hiding evidence. Records rarely use your word. The patient "gives way," the therapist notes "buckling," the surgeon writes "instability." Semantic search matches the meaning, so one query surfaces all 3 — and the exact-phrase mode is still there when you need it. Plain-English queries, no operators required Exact-phrase and keyword matching available alongside One query, 3 phrasings Query: **instability** — semantic "giving way" — p.212 "buckling" — p.171 "unstable" — p.87 Progress Note ✕ after 4/02 ✕ Progress note — treating ortho — p.212 PT evaluation — physical therapy — p.171 Handwritten intake form — via extraction — intake p.2 ### One query, every document. The query runs across the whole indexed file at once: notes, labs, imaging reports, depositions, billing. Filter by document type, provider, or date range to narrow from everything to exactly the right page. Filters by type, provider, and date range Handwriting and tables searchable too — they're in the index ### Hits land on the page, highlighted. Every result links to its exact source page with the matching passage highlighted — not to a document, to the line. Verify in one click, cite it in the next. Jump straight to page and passage Copy any hit with its citation attached Click-through Result "knee keeps giving way" open p.212 Source · p.212 2 ways into the same index Search — "instability" hits, each with a page Chat — "when did it start?" answer · cites p.87 Unsupported claim flagged, not stated Same citations either way. Search vs. chat ### Search finds the page. Chat answers the question. Search is for locating evidence you verify at the source; Medical Records Chat is for multi-step questions across the file, every statement cited. Both run on the same source-linked index, so either way the answer traces to a page — audit-grade by construction. [See Medical Records Chat ](https://medrecords.ai/product/qa/) ### From question to source page. The index is built at upload, so search is instant from the first query. 01 Upload and index Every document is read, extracted, and indexed — typed, handwritten, and tabular content alike. 02 Ask in plain English Describe what you're looking for the way you'd say it. Synonyms and clinical phrasing are matched by meaning. 03 Verify at the source Each hit opens its exact page with the passage highlighted, citation ready to copy. ### Who searches the file with it. Anyone who knows the evidence is in there somewhere — and bills by the hour it takes to find it. [ IME & QME evaluators Prior complaints and mechanism references found before the exam.

Semantic search matches meaning, so a query for "instability" also surfaces "giving way" and "buckling." Both modes are available; semantic is the default because records rarely use the word you'd guess. Yes. The query runs across the entire indexed file at once — clinical notes, labs, imaging reports, depositions, and billing — and you can narrow with filters for document type, provider, or date range. Every result carries a citation to its exact source page. Clicking a hit opens that page with the matching passage highlighted, so verification is one click and the citation is ready to use. That is the design case. The index is built page by page at upload, so a query over a 342-page file — or one many times that size — returns in seconds, including content that started as handwriting or a scanned table. Use Search when you want to locate and verify specific evidence yourself. Use Medical Records Chat when the question needs reasoning across many pages — it composes an answer with every statement cited. They share one index, so citations behave the same in both. ### Related capabilities Adjacent features on the same platform — every output source-linked and cited to page.
