Find documents by combining tags (e.g. people, places, dates)

When Filently files a document, it already understands a fair amount about it: who it involves, where it belongs, what period it covers. Today that understanding goes into the filename and the folder β€” which is exactly what it was built for, and for most archives it's enough.

It reaches its limit when an archive doesn't split cleanly into folders. A genealogy archive is the clearest example: one document can belong to a family line, a place and a date range at the same time, and a folder tree forces you to pick one. What you actually want to ask is "everything about this family in this location."

Requested capability:

  • Extract entities from documents during filing (people, organisations, places, dates, document type)

  • Store them as tags on the document

  • Let users search and filter by combining several tags

  • Files stay where they are in Drive β€” tags are an additional layer, not a replacement for the folder structure
