# Session Search
Search through your Claude session history stored in `~/.claude/projects/`.
## Usage
Run the search script with a regex or keyword pattern:
```bash
python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "pattern" [max_results]
```
## Examples
```bash
# Find sessions mentioning a specific function
python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "def parse_config"
# Find discussions about a topic
python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "kubernetes|docker"
# Find code with specific imports
python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "from fastapi import"
# Limit results
python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "error" 10
```
## Output
Returns matches with:
- Session slug/ID and project path
- Timestamp
- Role (user/assistant)
- Matching content with surrounding context
- 1 message before/after for context
Results are sorted by recency (newest first), limited to 20 by default.
