The Problem with Search: Why Teams Waste Time Hunting for the Right Information

Professionals spend an average of 2.7 hours each day searching for information, according to research from McKinsey & Company. That’s nearly 14 hours every week lost to browser tabs, Slack threads, dead links, and duplicate files.

For teams that depend on fast, accurate insights, this isn’t just frustrating—it’s a productivity sink, a risk to decision-making, and a hidden cost that compounds with every project.

The core issue? Traditional search tools weren’t designed for the way modern teams work. They prioritise ranking content, not delivering answers. That means hours spent validating sources, filtering results, and switching context—falling on your team to manually stitch it all together.

Why We Built SupaSearch

We built SupaSearch to give that time back.

It’s not just a search engine. It’s a search experience built for real work—designed to live inside your AI assistant, and deliver credible, contextual, and instantly usable answers.

  • Smarter Intent Recognition
    SupaSearch understands your question’s context. It returns a summarised, direct answer—not a list of links to figure out on your own.
  • Cited and Credible
    Every result is source-linked, so you can trust the data and trace it back instantly. No guesswork.
  • In-Flow and Fast
    No app switching. SupaSearch lives where you work, so you stay in the zone—saving time and mental energy.

A Simple Use Case
