feat(sessions): one ranked search index for CLI, TUI and web - #58
Merged

Conversation
Session search was a title match falling back to ripgrep: ~10s per query, no ranking, and automated (SDK/cron) runs made up ~95% of results. - internal/search: persistent SQLite FTS5 index (~/.aimux/search.db), refreshed incrementally by file mtime/size. Automated sessions are flagged from the transcript entrypoint (sdk-*), temp-dir cwd, or known prompt prefixes, and hidden unless asked for. - Keyword ranking is BM25 over the best chunk per session; long queries need about two thirds of their terms; a title equal to the query (or containing every term) is lifted first. - Semantic ranking embeds each exchange's prose (no tool noise) plus a per-session summary with OpenAI text-embedding-3-small@512; hybrid fuses keyword and the strong semantic hits with reciprocal rank fusion. Query vectors are cached in the index. - `aimux sessions` opens an fzf split view: one line per session (live marker, project and age colors), a preview with match, first prompt and recent prompts, debounced search-as-you-type, ^s keyword/semantic, ^a automated. It opens on the cached index and reloads via --listen once the refresh and live discovery finish. - Enter focuses the session's live iTerm2 pane (ported from feat/aimux-find, addressing windows by id) and reports where it went, else resumes it; a recently written session that cannot be focused is not resumed a second time. - `aimux sessions index` builds the index and embeddings; an opt-in quality harness (AIMUX_SEARCH_EVAL) reports top-1/top-5/MRR. On 29 private queries with known answers, hybrid finds the right session in the top 5 for 28 (MRR 0.86) with ~12 results per query. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…as sessions grow - Text in double quotes must appear as an exact phrase; free words are ranked as before. An unclosed quote is a phrase up to the end with a prefix last word, so it works while typing. Quoted queries skip semantic ranking: exact means exact. - Leaving the picker without a choice no longer prints "Error: selection cancelled". - Re-reading a grown session no longer drops all its embeddings. Vectors carry a hash of their input text and only changed exchanges are re-embedded; previously an active session went semantically invisible until a full `aimux sessions index` (479 exchanges pending after one morning), which cost hybrid MRR 0.86 -> 0.74 on the eval set. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The TUI content search and the web dashboard's /api/search still ran an unranked ripgrep scan, so aimux had two search backends. On the same eval set the ripgrep path found the right session in the top 5 for 1 of 29 sentence queries (MRR 0.03) and, for single terms, returned ~658 unranked files per query (target ranked as low as #789); the index finds 28/29 (MRR 0.86) with ~12 results. - internal/search.Service is the one entry point: refresh the index, then rank (hybrid by default, keyword without an embedder, exact for quoted phrases). The CLI's own copy of this logic is removed. - Web: /api/search calls the service through Server.SetSearchFunc and returns results best first; existing fields (sessionId, filePath, snippet) are unchanged, title and project are added. - TUI: content search and the / filter's deep search call the service through App.SetSessionSearch; results show in rank order, metadata-only matches after them. - Removed history.SearchContent, SearchContentWithSnippets, SearchFile and the rg/grep helpers; history keeps ContentMatch and FilterByPrompt. The CLI's no-index fallback is now a metadata match only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
search.Service checked the whole index for missing vectors before every hybrid query, re-reading and hashing every exchange: 4-8s per TUI/web search (the CLI picker's per-keystroke path skipped it, so it stayed fast). Update now reports the sessions it re-read, and a query embeds only those (EmbedMissingFor); the full scan stays in `aimux sessions index`. Hybrid query latency through the service: 3.9-8.3s -> 0.09-0.35s. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
history.Discover parsed every session file on each call: ~11s for ~3,500 sessions, paid by the TUI sessions view, the launcher and the web dashboard's history endpoints. scanSession was 10.8s of it. Parsed sessions (before sidecar metadata, which is always read fresh) are now cached in ~/.aimux/cache/session-scan.gob keyed by file mtime and size; only new or changed files are parsed, in parallel. Full scans drop entries for deleted files; scoped (--dir) scans leave other entries alone. The cache is written atomically, a corrupt or outdated cache (version bump) triggers a rescan, and only the default ~/.claude/projects is cached so callers passing their own directory never touch it. Real data (3,435 sessions): 11.2s -> 1.8s first run, 0.2s cached; cached results are identical to a fresh parse. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Review comments at @cmd/aimux/cmd/sessions_search.go:
- Around line 66-78: Update runIndexedQuery so the --dir filter is applied
before enforcing q.Limit; ensure directory-scoped searches can return up to the
requested number of matches instead of filtering an already-truncated result
set. Pass dir into the index query for pre-limit filtering, or fetch a
sufficiently larger result set, filter it, then truncate to q.Limit.
Review comments at @cmd/aimux/cmd/sessions.go:
- Around line 41-43: Update the picker condition around runSearchPicker so it
skips the picker when --dir, --mode, or --include-automated was explicitly set;
continue through the normal sessions path so those options are honored.
Review comments at @internal/frontend/tui/views/sessions.go:
- Around line 575-584: Update the content-search command using
SessionContentSearchResultMsg to preserve the error from search(query), and
update HandleContentSearchResult to display that failure without replacing the
current matches; keep successful zero-match results distinct from search
failures.
- Line 899: Update the ordering around v.contentSearchRank so an empty, non-nil
rank map does not leave metadata matches in v.sessions order. Apply the existing
starred grouping and selected sort to metadata matches first, then place ranked
matches ahead of them.
- Line 558: Update `HandleContentSearchResult` to accept results only for the
active content-search query or request generation; when a new search starts or
the search is cleared, update that tracking state so results from earlier
requests are ignored without changing current matches or status.
- Around line 569-570: Update the content-search flow configured by
SessionsView.SetContentSearch so it applies the active directory scope before
limiting results to 50; pass the directory into the search callback or filter
matches there before the limit, ensuring matches from other projects cannot
exclude sessions in v.sessions.
Review comments at @internal/frontend/web/handlers.go:
- Line 528: Update the error response in the HTTP handler to avoid sending the
index error text to clients: log the full error server-side and return a fixed
message or code with the internal-server-error status. Keep the change scoped to
this handler’s index-operation failure path.
Review comments at @internal/history/history.go:
- Line 136: Update the metadata lookup in scanSession to use os.Stat for
symlinked .jsonl entries, so the cache key reflects the target file that is
opened; retain the existing metadata behavior for non-symlink entries and add a
cache test confirming target updates invalidate cached session details.
Review comments at @internal/history/scancache_test.go:
- Line 19: Synchronize the scan counter used by the wrapper called from
Discover’s concurrent scanAll path; use an atomic counter or mutex for both
increments and reads, including the scan-count assertions.
Review comments at @internal/search/extract.go:
- Around line 103-105: Update extract.go’s flush logic to limit searchable
Chunk.Text with a separate MaxIndexChars setting, leaving MaxChunkChars for
embedding-sized Prose. In embed.go’s pendingEmbeddings, limit Text to the
embedding size only when it serves as the fallback for empty prose. Update
TestExtractFile_TruncatesAtLimits to verify both limits.
Review comments at @internal/sessions/searchpicker.go:
- Around line 283-286: Update the error handling after cmd.Output() so only fzf
exit codes 1 and 130 map to ErrCancelled; return all other failures, including
non-exit errors, wrapped with fzf context.

Search core - Long exchanges stay searchable: text past MaxChunkChars (4,000) was cut from the index. It now goes to an overflow column (up to 64,000 chars) with BM25 weight 0.1 that only qualifies a chunk when it completes every query term. Measured on the eval set: full-weight overflow dropped keyword MRR 0.68 -> 0.62 and grew results 11 -> 18; this keeps 0.66 and ~11 results while making deep text findable. - --dir scopes inside the query (SearchOpts.Dir, LIKE-escaped prefix), so the limit applies after scoping, not before. - Index layout changes keep embeddings and query vectors (matched by text hash); an extractor version re-reads sessions without re-embedding. TUI - Results of an older or cleared content search are ignored. - A failed search shows "content search failed: ..." and a running one shows "searching content..." instead of looking like zero matches. - Ranked order applies only when there are content matches, so the / filter keeps the selected sort otherwise. - Content search asks for up to 500 results so a project-scoped view is not starved by matches elsewhere. CLI picker - --mode, --include-automated and --dir now apply to the picker. - Only fzf exit codes 1 and 130 mean cancelled; other failures surface. Other - /api/search logs internal errors and returns a generic message. - The session scan cache stats symlink targets, not the link. - Scan-cache test counter is synchronized (race detector clean). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The previous fix only raised the TUI content-search limit to 500, so a project-scoped view could still lose its matches to other projects. The search callback now receives the view's scope (current dir, or "" for all projects) and the index applies it before the limit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Review comments at @cmd/aimux/cmd/sessions_search.go:
- Around line 292-297: Update the interactive mode selection in the modeSet
block so explicit search.ModeSemantic is not stored as hybrid; add a semantic
picker choice and dispatch it to ix.Semantic, or reject explicit semantic mode
before starting the picker. Preserve the picker toggle’s existing hybrid
behavior for its intentional semantic-enabled mode.

use envEmbedder with ix.EmbedMissingFor to create their vectors before querying.
Preserve the existing hybrid search behavior.

- Line 42: Resolve the supplied dir to an absolute path before dispatching to
either the picker or indexed-query path, and pass the resolved value to both
branches. Update the command flow around runSearchPicker and preserve existing

Review comments at @internal/frontend/tui/views/sessions.go:
- Around line 561-562: Update the search-result handling around the query check
in the sessions view to identify requests by a monotonically increasing search
generation, not only by query text. Store the generation when starting each
search, include it with the result, and discard results whose generation is not
the latest so repeated queries in different scopes cannot overwrite newer
matches.

- Picker: an explicit --mode semantic runs semantic-only ranking (falls back to keyword without OPENAI_API_KEY) instead of silently using hybrid. - Picker: the background refresh now embeds what it re-indexed (search.Service.Refresh), so hybrid ranking sees new sessions. - --dir is resolved to an absolute path before the indexed search and the picker, so "--dir ." matches indexed working directories. - TUI: content-search results are matched to the request that produced them (a generation counter), so the same query in two scopes cannot swap in the older result.

Summary
Session search was an unranked ripgrep scan: ~10s per query, an ~11s sessions list load, and automated SDK/cron runs were ~95% of results. This adds a persistent, ranked index with optional semantic ranking, standardizes the CLI, TUI and web dashboard on it, removes the ripgrep path, caches parsed sessions so lists load in ~0.2s, and adds an fzf split-view picker that jumps to a session's live iTerm2 pane or resumes it.
Changes
aimux sessions: fzf split view (one line per session, live marker, preview, debounced search-as-you-type, ^s keyword/semantic, ^a automated).
