search - MemoryBase

memorybase search <query> [options]

Runs a semantic search over your entire MemoryBase. This is the same search that powers the browser extension’s context injection — it finds the most relevant conversation snippets and project layers based on meaning, not just keywords.

Arguments

Argument	Required	Description
`query`	Yes	What you want to search for (natural language)

Options

Option	Description
`--top-layers <n>`	Maximum number of matched layers to return (1-10)
`--pinned <ids>`	Comma-separated project IDs to always include in results
`--format <fmt>`	Output format: `table` (default), `json`, or `markdown`

Examples

Basic search:

memorybase search "react authentication flow"

Get results as JSON (useful for piping to other tools):

memorybase search "database schema" --format json

Limit to top 3 results:

memorybase search "API error handling" --top-layers 3

Pin a specific project to always appear in results:

memorybase search "deployment" --pinned proj-abc123,proj-def456
