# Search Memory Search your Nowledge Mem knowledge base proactively when past insights would improve the response. ## When to Search **Strong signals — search without waiting to be asked:** - User references "last time", "before", "we discussed", "the other day" - User asks about a decision, preference, or plan that may have been decided before - User mentions a project, repo, or topic with known history - Current problem resembles a previously solved one **Search routing:** 1. Start with `mcp__nowledge-mem__search_memories` for distilled knowledge 2. Fall back to `mcp__nowledge-mem__search_threads` for conversation history 3. If MCP tools unavailable, use CLI: `nmem --json m search "<query>" --mode deep` ## Usage **Primary (MCP)**: ``` mcp__nowledge-mem__search_memories query: "<search terms>" limit: 5 mcp__nowledge-mem__search_threads query: "<search terms>" limit: 5 ``` **Fallback (CLI)**: ```bash nmem --json m search "auth token rotation" --mode deep nmem --json t search "deploy pipeline discussion" --limit 5 ``` ## Guidance 1. Search both nmem and Proma's built-in `mcp__mem__recall_memory` — nmem for cross-session history, built-in for current-session notes 2. Prefer nmem results for decisions, preferences, and project-level context 3. Frame results naturally — "we decided X last time" not "search result 3 indicates X" 4. If search returns nothing, say so honestly; don't fabricate context
