Guru alternative: live cross-app search that goes beyond the wiki

Guru is excellent at verified knowledge: a curated wiki of cards that subject-matter experts keep accurate, surfaced in the flow of work. The limitation teams mention when weighing Guru alternatives is that it answers from what has been curated into Guru, so anything that lives only in Drive, Slack, a Jira ticket or an email is outside its reach.
