Hermes Agent just shipped something that makes you wonder why it wasn’t there from day one: /sessions search <query>.
A single command that searches across every conversation you’ve ever had with your agent.
What It Does
The new gateway endpoint lets you search the full text of all past sessions — not just titles or metadata, but the actual content of every message, every tool call, every result. Type /sessions search deploy fix prod and get every session where you talked about deploying a fix to production.
Before this, finding a past session meant scrolling through lists, guessing dates, or remembering exact filenames. Now it’s a single command.
Why This Changes Everything
The biggest pain point with persistent AI assistants has always been: “I know we talked about this before, but where?” Hermes’s mem0 memory system already surfaced relevant facts across sessions. But /sessions search goes deeper — it surfaces the full context, not just the distilled memory.
This bridges the gap between “the agent remembers” and “you can find it.”
Tech Stack
The feature was by the Hermes team. It runs through the gateway layer, meaning it works across any connected provider and any device. The search is FTS5-backed, the same engine used by SQLite for full-text search — fast, local, no external dependencies.
Practical Use Cases
- Debugging — search for error messages across all sessions
- Knowledge retrieval — find that config snippet from three weeks ago
- Project handoff — search for decisions made in past discussions
- Learning — see how you solved a similar problem last time
This is one of those features that seems obvious in hindsight. But Hermes shipped it first.
