# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.clausebuddy.com/autosuggest/what.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
