Documents
Uploading files so their contents become retrievable.
Drop a file into Documents and its text is extracted, split up, and made searchable alongside everything else. A PDF you uploaded in March answers questions in the same breath as something you told Cursor this morning.
What is handled
| Text, tables, and OCR for scanned pages | |
| Images | Text in the image, plus a description of it |
| Audio and video | Transcribed |
| Text, Markdown, code | Directly |
Processing takes a few seconds for text and longer for media. Status is shown per file while it runs.
Searching them
By default a query searches both what you have told your tools and what your
documents contain. To search one or the other, use searchMode:
ts
await hm.recall({ q: "vacation policy", searchMode: "documents" });Removing them
Deleting a document removes the file and everything extracted from it. There is no residue left in search.
