How search works
Full-text search
Searches memory block titles and content for exact and partial keyword matches. Works best for short, specific queries: a word or two from a block’s title, or a term you know appears in the content.
Fuzzy tag matching
Finds blocks by tag even when the tag name isn’t typed exactly. Also supports filtering by creator name to narrow results in shared team spaces.
Filtering search results
After typing a query, a filter bar appears below the search input. You can narrow results by:By block type
By block type
Show only Context, Instruction, or Prompt blocks. Useful when you know the kind of block you’re looking for.
By space
By space
Restrict results to one or more specific spaces. Helpful when you have many spaces and know roughly where the block lives.
By tag
By tag
Filter to blocks that have a particular tag. You can select multiple tags. Results must match at least one of the selected tags.
By creator
By creator
In shared workspaces, filter to blocks created by a specific team member.
Keyboard navigation
Once results appear, use the keyboard to navigate without touching the mouse:| Key | Action |
