feat(api): add /agentmemory/memories/search - #1247
Conversation
Memories written by `remember` cannot currently be found by any search endpoint. /search and /smart-search rank observations, /semantic ranks semantic facts, and /memories lists memories but takes no query — so retrieval requires either already knowing the id, or paging the whole collection and filtering client-side. On a real corpus the memory you want is never inside the window, which reads as "search is broken" when search was simply never wired to this store. Adds weighted-field BM25 over concepts / title / content / files. Concepts carry the highest weight because they are terms the author deliberately chose for retrieval, where a body mention is incidental. Kebab-case tokens are kept AND split, so a query of "memory leak" reaches a memory tagged `memory-leak-detection`, and so does "detection". Covering more of the query outranks repeating one term of it — the difference between a memory that is about a topic and one that mentions it. Scoping is identical to api::memories: isLatest, the same agentId / includeOrphans / wildcard handling. A search must never surface rows the caller is blocked from listing. Registered on both verbs. GET keeps it usable from a shell with no JSON body; POST keeps long queries out of the URL and matches the shape of /search and /smart-search. limit defaults to 10 and is capped at 200. No new dependencies; ranking is ~90 lines of arithmetic over the existing kv.list result.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdded authenticated GET and POST endpoints for searching latest agent-scoped memories. The endpoint validates queries and limits, applies visibility rules, ranks matches with weighted BM25 scoring and coverage boosting, and returns compact metadata. ChangesMemory Search
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new search endpoint can return incorrectly ranked or missed results for hyphenated terms, while malformed limits may be silently accepted and defaulted. Because these affect search correctness and request validation, the PR should not merge until they are fixed or explicitly accepted; full-corpus processing also warrants owner awareness for larger stores.

2047-2151: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy liftEvery request tokenizes the whole memory corpus.
The handler lists all memories, then builds per-field token maps for every latest memory and recomputes document frequencies on each call. The comment at Line 1953 records that the same unbounded
kv.liston an 8K+ memory corpus already hit the engine invocation timeout forapi::memories. This endpoint adds full-text tokenization on top of that read, so the cost per request is higher than the list path.Consider one of these:

Reject invalid limit values instead of silently using the default.
A caller that sends {"limit": "50"} in the body, ?limit=abc, or limit: 0 gets 10 results and no error. Other endpoints in this file return 400 for a bad limit, for example api::search at Line 425 and api::crystal-list at Line 3227. The same applies to query: a non-string query in the body falls through to the query parameters and can produce 400 query is required with a misleading message.
🛡️ Proposed fix for the limit path
- const rawLimit =
- typeof body["limit"] === "number"
- ? (body["limit"] as number)
- : typeof req.query_params?.["limit"] === "string"
- ? Number(req.query_params["limit"])
- : Number.NaN;
- const limit =
- Number.isInteger(rawLimit) && rawLimit > 0 ? Math.min(rawLimit, 200) : 10;
+ const rawLimit =
+ body["limit"] !== undefined
+ ? body["limit"]
+ : req.query_params?.["limit"];
+ const parsedLimit = parseOptionalPositiveInt(rawLimit);
+ if (parsedLimit === null) {
+ return {
+ status_code: 400,
+ body: { error: "limit must be a positive integer" },

+ const limit = Math.min(parsedLimit ?? 10, 200);As per coding guidelines: "Validate inputs at system boundaries, including MCP handlers and REST endpoints."

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
The tokenizer duplicates every token and never produces the joined form.
lower.match(/[a-z0-9]+/g) already splits on -, so the second loop over lower.split("-") re-emits the same tokens. For both "memory leak" and "memory-leak" the result is ["memory","leak","memory","leak"].
Two consequences:
- Every
tfand everyd.lengthdoubles, and each query term is scored twice in the loop at Line 2132, becausetermsalso contains duplicates. - The stated intent of keeping the whole token is not met. A query for
memoryleakstill cannot match a conceptmemory-leak.
If you want the joined form, add it explicitly and deduplicate the query terms.
