New search with hybrid semantic engine
Linear's search has been completely rebuilt with a new hybrid semantic search engine that combines AI vector embeddings with keyword-matching, allowing you to find issues even without exact phrasing. The search is now more comprehensive, pulling context from customer requests, comments, and linked support tickets. Additionally, personal API keys now support fine-grained permission controls so you can restrict access to specific teams and actions.
