This plugin will help you search digital files, even if you don't remember the name of what you're looking for. Peruse enables users to find files in the cloud using natural language rather than keywords. Locating files now has a much more human-looking makeover.
To search digital files with Peruse, start with whatever descriptions and phrases come to you instinctively, such as "Lists I sent to Jaime." The search software is adapted to better fit the way humans normally organize information. For it to work, it needs to be plugged into your cloud storage. At this point in time, the software works with Box and Dropbox.
In the future Peruse hope to integrate with even more storage services. They also want to develop it to let users look for particular facts inside documents (specifically spreadsheets).
