# Memory Search
Search memory files with **multi-mode** search capability.
## Search Modes
### 1. Tags & Description (Built-in)
Automatically searches tags and descriptions based on query:
```
memory_search(query="typescript")
```
### 2. Custom Grep Pattern (grep)
For complex content search with standard grep:
```
memory_search({
query: "project",
grep: "typescript|javascript"
})
```
### 3. Custom Ripgrep Pattern (rg)
For smarter search with ripgrep (smart case, better regex):
```
memory_search({
query: "project",
rg: "typescript|javascript"
})
```
## Tool Selection
| Parameter | Tool | Best For |
|-----------|------|----------|
| `grep` | GNU grep | Portable, universal |
| `rg` | ripgrep | Smart case, faster, better regex |
## Examples
### Find files by tag
```
memory_search(query="user")
```
### Grep: OR patterns
```
memory_search({
query: "project",
grep: "architecture|component|module"
})
```
### Ripgrep: Smart case
```
memory_search({
query: "typescript",
rg: "typescript|javascript"
})
```
### Grep: Word boundary
```
memory_search({
query: "api",
grep: "\\bAPI\\b"
})
```
### Both: Compare results
```
memory_search({
query: "project",
grep: "pattern1",
rg: "pattern2"
})
```
## Search Priority
1. **Tags** - Exact tag matches (grep)
2. **Description** - Description keyword matches (grep)
3. **Custom grep** - Optional grep pattern
4. **Custom rg** - Optional ripgrep pattern
