Have you had a chance to try out Dropbox Dash, (our new AI-powered universal search tool) yet?
You can learn all about it here, and, if you have questions about it, you’re in the right place!

Dash is fabulous. I love being able to search across platforms and get the answers in one place.
Two requests -- one small and one (I think) a bit larger.
When I click on a result, I'd like the Dash window to stay open. Often I have several similar documents and I need to decide which is best for my purpose. Having to re-open Dash each time slows me down a bit.
Also, is there any chance of adding OCR to read .pdfs which were scans or produced by a .pdf printer driver that creates images rather than actual text?

Thanks, KevinLeeC ! Great questions.
I personally totally agree with the reopening dash slows me down sentiment. Working on it.
For the PDF and OCR comment that's something we're actively working on too. Don't know exactly how it will show up in the product, but keep an eye out.
Thanks again for the question,
Geoff
