Search & Answer
HSCII Organization, 2026
Search and Answer is our approach to navigable academic knowledge. Over 5 million new
academic works are published each year (NSF S&E Indicators), with more than 250 million in circulation (OpenAlex). Countless archival resources remain indexed only by title or description, if at all.
Search and Answer takes a fine-toothed approach, working at the passage level across tens
of millions of academic resources to surface precisely relevant material.
