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), oreverything(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.
