Find the exact moment.

Find the exact second something was said, or ask a question across the whole catalog.

Before you start

Use a website with connected, indexed episodes or posts. Choose a word you know appears in an episode so your first test has a result you can verify.

Step 1

Choose Find a word or Ask

Open Ask & Search on your website. Find a word locates a word or phrase in transcripts; Ask answers a question using the available archive. Choose the mode that matches what you want to find.

Open Ask & Search on the public website. Decide whether you want an exact word match or an answer across the archive.

Find a word is useful when you remember a phrase; a question is useful when you want the archive to explain a subject.

Step 2

Enter a phrase or a concrete question

For a transcript match, type a distinctive word or phrase you remember. For an answer, ask a specific question about material you have published. Submit and read the returned matches or answer before choosing a source.

Choose Find a word and enter a word or phrase, or ask a clear question in the question field. Read the matching transcript or answer before selecting a source.

For a question, check which episodes or related posts support the answer. The useful next action is to inspect the source, not just the generated response.

Step 3

Open the evidence at its timestamp

Select a returned timestamp to start the episode at that moment. Listen to the surrounding context. An answer may show several supporting moments; review them before repeating a claim. If the answer used connected Substack posts, Related posts links to those originals.

Open a linked episode moment from the results. The timestamp takes you to the place the result refers to.

Listen around the match to understand its context. If the answer links a related post, open it and compare it with the answer as well.

Review checklist

The result is from the intended archive.
The timestamp opens the relevant moment.
The source supports the answer in context.

If you get stuck

A known word has no result

Check that the episode has been imported and indexed, then try a shorter phrase or another word from that moment.

An answer feels too broad

Ask a narrower question and inspect its linked sources.
