The text based Content Search Alpha and geometry searching Autodesk Visual Search are two technologies in the Autodesk Labs now available to use and get customer feedback to help shape their directions.
Autodesk Visual Search allows you to simply sketch and search based on the sketch geometry, 2D or 3D drawing or even based on a raster image for some pre-indexed content results that are the closest geometry match. This is a pretty interesting web based app.
Content Search is a engine that aggregates content like standard blocks and details from major suppliers and Autodesk products.
Go give them a try then provide some feedback to the team email listed on the Autodesk Labs page.
Happy Searching!
