We use notion and when I read this review, the irony is that its weakest point is the search. Just like with most of these tools. In the case of notion, it is not the results, but the fact that search is so slow.
Otherwise, the it is is super powerful. In a few cases, too powerful and having cases when one doesn't use all of its powers.
Notion is still in this space where it does a lot of things decently, and nothing well. It is a decent text editor. It builds decent data tables. It is a decent wiki. If it did at least one of those things we’ll, it would have a lot more long term staying power, and I think the strongest contender is text editing.
Notion will fall as a note taking app, but probably survive as an enteprise wiki. The search which is a big issue for now, will get improved, they just move slowly.
(I work on Notion, but not on search)
For what it's worth, we've cut p50, p90, p95 search latencies in half compared to December. There are more improvements in reliability and accuracy coming soon too.
