Session Search
Session Search lets Anyy look through earlier conversation history in the current Profile, across Roles and Workspaces. It is useful for recalling decisions, references, and unfinished threads without copying an entire transcript into persistent memory.
Search from Chat
Ask naturally:
Search my earlier sessions for the discussion about the release checklist.
Show my three most recent prior conversations.
With no query, Anyy lists recent sessions. With a query, it searches messages and groups matches by session.
Available Filters
| Input | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Query | Optional text search; omit it for recent sessions |
role_filter (message roles) | Optional comma-separated message roles such as user, assistant, or tool_result; this does not select an assistant Role |
| Limit | 1–5 sessions; default 3 |
Results always report the current session ID. The current conversation lineage and tool-sourced sessions are excluded. Prior related sessions are grouped under their root conversation; search hits can include a hit_session_id for the actual matching child. Child conversations are not shown as separate items in the recent list.
Continue the Right Conversation
Search helps locate a session; Sessions explains how to inspect, switch, or continue one from supported surfaces. Check the session ID before resuming when several conversations have similar titles.
Names, filenames, decisions, and unusual phrases work better than generic terms such as “the task” or “yesterday.”
Session Search vs. Memory
- Use Session Search to recover what was said.
- Use Persistent Memory for a curated fact that should affect future answers.
- Use Tasks for structured obligations.
Do not save a full transcript to memory just to make it searchable; conversation history already serves that purpose.
Privacy and Scope
Search is read-only and Profile-wide. Switching a Role or Workspace does not create a private history boundary; use another Profile when histories must remain separate. A result preview is bounded, so ask Anyy to open or summarize the matching session when you need more context.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| No relevant result | Use a distinctive phrase or remove an overly narrow role filter |
| Expected session is missing | Confirm the Profile; the current conversation lineage and tool-sourced sessions are excluded |
| Preview lacks needed detail | Continue or inspect the matched session rather than widening memory |
| Too many similar results | Add a filename, person, date, or decision phrase to the query |
