bzActionsUnifiedSearch-FM builds upon the power of bzUnifiedSearch-FM, transforming search into an interactive command center. Instead of simply retreiving records, users can instantly execute contextual actions, seamlessly integrating search with workflows.

This demo showcases how FileMaker’s Perform Semantic Find enhances search-based automation—allowing users to trigger actions, update records or generate insights directly from search results.

From running workflows to generating live data visualizations, bzActionsUnifiedSearch-FM bridges the gap between searching and doing—eliminating manual steps and making interactions more intuitive.

Learn more in the third blog post from our series on Semantic Search, where we explore bzActionsUnifiedSearch-FM and how it transforms search into a dynamic tool for taking action within FileMaker.

Interactive Command Center

With bzActionsUnifiedSearch-FM, search results go beyond retrieving records—they become dynamic actions that adapt to the user’s intent. Instead of manually navigating layouts or running scripts, users can execute workflows directly from the search interface, streamlining tasks and decision-making.

—> One example of this in action? Transforming a search query into a live data visualization, instantly generating insights.

Dynamic Search-Driven Insights

Imagine searching for “chart by state.” Instead of just displaying raw data, the system recognizes the intent behind the search and surfaces the “View People Chart” action.

  • The system recognizes that “People” relate to the “State” field.
  • Clicking “Execute this Action” triggers a workflow that sorts records, summarizes data, and generates a live chart.
  • This eliminates the need to manually filter, sort, or export data before generating visual insights.

The next step? Executing the action to generate a dynamic visualization.

Generating a Live Chart from Search

Once the “Execute this Action” button is clicked, bzActionsUnifiedSearch-FM dynamically processes the search query, runs the workflow, and displays a live chart based on the search criteria.

  • The system automatically aggregates data, generating a bar chart that visualizes people grouped by state.
  • If the dataset updates, the workflow ensures real-time accuracy without requiring additional steps.
  • This bridges the gap between searching and doing, making data-driven decisions faster and more intuitive.
