Search

XClaw's search spans multiple dimensions: session content, files, Skills, connections, and settings.

Session search lets you find keywords across all historical conversations. When you have hundreds of sessions, this is far faster than scrolling through a list. Results are ranked by relevance, and clicking jumps directly to the matching position in the conversation.

File search integrates code-level search capabilities — regex support, file type filtering, and path matching. This shares the same underlying implementation as the Grep tool the Agent uses.

The command palette (Cmd/Ctrl+K) provides a global search entry point. From here you can fuzzy-search any action: create a session, switch models, open a setting, run a Skill.

How to

The fastest way to search is Cmd/Ctrl+K to open the command palette. You can search for almost anything here — type a keyword and the palette matches actions, sessions, files, and settings simultaneously.

Want to search specifically within session content? There's a search icon at the top of the left sidebar — click it and enter a keyword. Results list all sessions containing that keyword with their exact locations, and clicking jumps you straight to the message.

File search lives in the file panel — open it and use the search bar at the top. It supports regex (e.g., TODO|FIXME to search for both markers at once) and file type filtering (e.g., only search .ts files).

Quick tip: typing @ in the session input box is also a form of "search" — it pops up a file picker with fuzzy matching on filenames, letting you quickly pull files into context.
