Why your data takes time to appear in your workspace

An overview of how we aggregate and then display data and why it might sometimes be displayed

Overview

When you create a new workspace in SearchParty, your data might not populate right away. That delay doesn’t mean something’s wrong — it’s the result of background jobs that analyze, extract, and connect your content before surfacing it in the workspace view.

Understanding what’s happening behind the scenes helps you know what to expect and how to speed things up if needed.

What Happens After You Create a Workspace

  1. The workspace initializes.

    A new workspace environment is set up with its own data store, prompts, and indexing pipeline.

  2. Entity extraction begins.

    SearchParty runs jobs to identify key entities (brands, products, topics) within your data.

    • It may not immediately detect the brand name you used (for example, “Rivian”).

    • Instead, it often starts by finding child entities like specific products, models, or internal terms.

    • Once those are found, they get linked back to their parent entity automatically.

  3. Linking jobs run in the background.

    SearchParty runs additional jobs to connect all the pieces — for example, associating a product mention with its brand workspace.

    These jobs can take some time to complete depending on data volume and queue load.

  4. Data rolls up to the workspace view.

    After linking completes, your workspace will show the connected entities, documents, and references. This is when the data “appears.”

Why the Delay Exists

Search Party’s design prioritizes accuracy over immediacy.

The system waits until relationships are verified before surfacing entities in the interface. This avoids false connections and ensures your workspace represents a clean, linked hierarchy of data.
