description	Searches memories and displays compact one-liner results, or looks up a specific memory by ID. Use for quick memory lookups, checking if something was recorded, resolving [mem0:id] citations, or browsing memories without full category detail.

Search / Peek

Quick semantic search with compact output. Lighter than /mem0-tour.

Execution

Step 1: Parse query

The user provides a search query: /mem0-search favorite restaurants

If no query provided, ask: "What should I search for?"

Memory ID detection: If the query matches a UUID pattern (^[a-f0-9-]{20,}$), treat it as a direct memory lookup instead of a search.

Step 2: Search

Use mem0_memory tool with action="search", query=<user's query>.

Step 3: Display

Show compact results:

## mem0 search: "<query>" (<N> results)

1. [preferences] Prefers window seats on flights (2026-05-15) [mem0:a3f8b2c1]
2. [goals] Wants to visit Japan in 2027 (2026-05-10) [mem0:7e2d9f4a]
3. [identity] Lives in San Francisco (2026-05-08) [mem0:c4d5e6f7]

Format: <number>. [<category>] <content, 80 chars> (<date>) [mem0:<short_id>]

If no results:

No memories matching "<query>".
