It currently looks as though the normal search in ClickUp is being artificially restricted to make the AI upgrade more attractive. The standard search only provides simple keyword hits — few results from files, docs or the wiki, although that is exactly what would be essential.

A functioning full text search is a basic requirement, especially with a wiki. Instead, you need “ClickUp Brain” or the AI feature just to find basic things.

The problem: AI offers an oversized range of functions that many do not even need — or already cover in other tools. Nobody wants to pay twice just to finally be able to search properly.

Offer individual brain functions such as a context search individually instead of offering the Super-Power Brain package, which simply not everyone needs.
