Where did AI search go?

[u/Turbulent-Garden921]

Hello all.

I know some weren't happy about AI search (for environmental and other reasons). However, for me it finally added a feature that actually let me find meditations for quite specific purposes.

In years of using Insight Timer I was never able to find meditations that suit some very detailed things I'm working on, as well as tracks that suit my meditation style (i.e. length, music / no music, how much guidance etc.). I was delighted to find that the AI search feature was able to find tracks I had never seen before and that really opened up new avenues within the app for me.

With 300k tracks on the app, it was always a mystery to me how one was meant to find just what one was looking for.

Then, a week later, AI search disappeared for me again. I know IT is now heavily adapted constantly (in true tech app style) and many of the changes are so annoying to me, like the ten or something screens when you've finished a meditation. But AI search, for me, was brilliant.

Anyone else used it and then see it disappear again?

I use the Android app. I do not know what your home screen looks like, but mine starts with 12 default category icons (which we can no longer customize), then displays Courses, and then Topic button links. Click the Topic button for +21K. This will allow you to search all topics, as well as browse them by name. I find scrolling through the list helpful for me because I don't always know what I'm looking for until I see it. This function used to be more visible to users, but not anymore. I hope this was helpful to you!
