Search & Index keeps the source file, selected keys, warnings, and row status next to the result so you can check the work before exporting.

02Review rows

Check changes, matches, warnings, and previews.

03Export result

Local file workbench

Built around the files people actually hand you.

CSV and workbook flows are first-class. Search also handles text, logs, structured files, and best-effort document previews with honest warning states when files cannot be read cleanly.

Why it feels different

Less fluff. More proof.

Dense review surfaces

Screenshots lead with real grids, filters, keys, warnings, previews, and export controls.

Human decision loop

Smart matching is framed as candidate review with scores and context, not automatic truth.

Evidence by default

Results stay tied to source file, target file, key columns, match strategy, and export provenance.

One shared workbench

Workflows fit together as one coherent system instead of unrelated mini tools.

Scale signals

Paging, progress, cancellation, and preview limits are positioned as serious workflow traits.

Polished without hiding work

Motion stays tied to review flow, workflow movement, and product evidence.
