Search & Memory

The workspace includes a search system that goes beyond file text search.

  • Search modes: code (file contents), files (file names), memory (captured session data), or everything (code and memory together).
  • Search scopes: the current session, all sessions for the current project, or across all registered projects — depending on mode.
  • Match modes: literal or regex.
  • Saved searches and recent searches are persisted per project.
  • Ask AI can answer questions using the retrieved results as context, or re-sort exact matches by relevance, depending on settings.

Session memory

Manifold captures session data locally and stores it per project in SQLite:

  • interactions — prompts sent and responses received.
  • observations — facts the agent noted during a session.
  • session summaries — compressed overviews used when resuming long sessions.

That memory powers search and gives the agent relevant history when a session is resumed.
