Search Memory

AI-powered search across your personal knowledge base using Nowledge Mem.

When to Use

Search when:

• the user references previous work, a prior fix, or an earlier decision
• the task resumes a named feature, bug, refactor, incident, or subsystem
• a debugging pattern resembles something solved earlier
• the user asks for rationale, preferences, procedures, or recurring workflow details
• the current result is ambiguous and past context would make the answer sharper

Retrieval Routing

1. Start with nmem --json m search for durable knowledge.
2. Use nmem --json t search when the user is really asking about a prior conversation or exact session history.
3. If a result includes source_thread, inspect it progressively with nmem --json t show <thread_id> --limit 8 --offset 0 --content-limit 1200.
4. Prefer the smallest retrieval surface that answers the question.
