# What?
### **What is Similar Clauses?**
Similar Clauses allows you to instantly search for relevant or (nearly) identical clauses while you are drafting or reviewing text in Word. This feature provides two intuitive ways to retrieve content:
* **Alternative clauses**: ClauseBuddy uses semantic search to find clauses that deal with a comparable subject or meaning, even if they are worded differently. Ideal when drafting or negotiating and looking for inspiration.
* **(Nearly) identical clauses**: ClauseBuddy will search for clauses that are as identical as possible to your selection, returning up to 10 results from both your [Quality Library](https://help.clausebuddy.com/quality-library/) and [Truffle Hunt](https://help.clausebuddy.com/truffle-hunt/). All results are automatically compared against your selected text, with differences highlighted. Perfect for compliance tasks or consistency checks.
In both cases, you can insert a relevant clause into your document with just two mouse clicks. While browsing through your document: simply place your cursor inside a paragraph or select some text. ClauseBuddy will use that selection as the basis for its search. Even a few words are enough — ClauseBuddy will automatically expand the scope to the full paragraph. Depending on your settings, searches can run automatically whenever you move your cursor, or only when you explicitly press the search button. You can “pin” results to keep them visible while moving through your document.
Similar Clauses searches both curated clauses from your Quality Library and mass-extracted content from Truffle Hunt. You can fine-tune which folders or baskets are included via simple checkboxes in the toolbar. All your selections and options are remembered until you log out.
Similar Clauses is deliberately minimalistic in design, so it doesn’t interrupt your workflow. It acts as a subtle but powerful assistant that helps you find and reuse high-quality content as you write.
