# Find

Search across the world. One verb for all retrieval.

## How It Searches

Priority order — fastest and highest signal first:

### 1. Frontmatter Scan (fast, structured)

Scan `_kernel/key.md` across all walnuts. Matches on: type, goal, people names, tags, links, reference descriptions.

### 2. Insights Search (standing knowledge)

Scan `_kernel/insights.md` across relevant walnuts. Domain knowledge that persists — "Nova Station test windows are Tue-Thu only."

### 3. Log Search (decisions, history)

Search `_kernel/log.md` entries. Signed decisions, session summaries, what happened when. Frontmatter first (last-entry, summary), then entry bodies.

### 4. Task Search (work queue)

- Scan `bundles/*/tasks.md` across walnuts. Find tasks by status, age, attribution.

+ Use `tasks.py list` to query tasks across walnuts. Find tasks by status, age, attribution.

### 5. Working File Search (drafts)

- Scan `bundles/*/` across walnuts. Find drafts by name, version, age, squirrel attribution.

+ Scan `*/` across walnuts (bundles are flat in walnut root). Find drafts by name, version, age, squirrel attribution.

### 6. Bundle Manifest Search (captured content metadata)

- Search `bundles/*/context.manifest.yaml` files. Match on frontmatter: type, date, source, participants, subject.

+ Search `*/context.manifest.yaml` files across walnuts (bundles are flat in walnut root). Match on frontmatter: type, date, source, participants, subject.

### 7. Raw Reference Search (last resort, expensive)

Load actual raw files. Only on explicit request — "read me that email from Jax."

## Cross-Walnut Search

Find searches across ALL walnuts by default. Results show which walnut each match came from.

## Temporal Queries

"What happened last week" → filter log entries by date range, show across all active walnuts.

- "What changed since Tuesday" → scan `_kernel/_generated/now.json` updated timestamps + recent log entries.

+ "What changed since Tuesday" → scan `_kernel/now.json` updated timestamps + recent log entries.

"History of nova-station" → show `_kernel/log.md` frontmatter (entry count, summary) + offer to load recent entries.
