secondbrain-search（第二脑搜索）

Semantic Search

Search your secondbrain knowledge base using semantic similarity (meaning-based) and full-text search.

Prerequisites

1. qmd installed: Check with which qmd

- Install: bun install -g qmd or npm install -g qmd - First run downloads ~1.5GB models

1. Search initialized: Check for .claude/search/ directory

- If not initialized, suggest running /secondbrain-search-init

Usage

/secondbrain-search "your natural language query"
/secondbrain-search --entity=adrs "database migration"
/secondbrain-search --recent=30d "authentication"
/secondbrain-search --status=active --tag=kubernetes "deployment"

Workflow

Step 1: Validate Environment

# Check qmd is installed
which qmd

# Check search is initialized
ls .claude/search/

If qmd not installed:

qmd is not installed. Install it with:
  bun install -g qmd
  # or
  npm install -g qmd

Then initialize search with: /secondbrain-search-init

If search not initialized:

Search not initialized for this project.
Run: /secondbrain-search-init

Step 2: Parse Query and Filters

Extract from user input:

Step 3: Execute Search

Run qmd search command:

cd <project_root>
qmd query "<user_query>" --json --limit=<limit>

Parse JSON output:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "docs/adrs/ADR-0012-kubernetes-deployment.md",
      "score": 0.92,
      "title": "Kubernetes Deployment Strategy",
      "excerpt": "We decided to use Blue-Green deployment for stateless services...",
      "metadata": {
        "frontmatter": {
          "status": "implemented",
          "created": "2025-12-15"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Step 4: Enrich with Metadata

Load YAML records to add entity-specific metadata:

For each result:

1. Determine entity type from file path (e.g., docs/adrs/ → ADRs)
2. Load corresponding records from .claude/data/<entity>/records.yaml
3. Match by file path and enrich with status, tags, dates, etc.

Step 5: Apply Post-Filters

Filter results based on user criteria:

# Pseudocode
for result in results:
    if entity_filter and result.entity not in entity_filter:
        skip
    if status_filter and result.status != status_filter:
        skip
    if tag_filter and tag_filter not in result.tags:
        skip
    if date_filter and not in_date_range(result.date, from_date, to_date):
        skip

Step 6: Format Output

Search Tips

Display helpful tips when no results found:

## No Results Found

**Query:** "foobar nonexistent"

### Tips

1. **Try broader terms** — Use general concepts instead of specific jargon
2. **Check spelling** — Semantic search handles typos but exact terms may miss
3. **Remove filters** — Try without --entity or --status filters first
4. **Use related concepts** — "authentication" instead of "OAuth2"

### Alternative Actions

- `/secondbrain-freshness` — See all recent content
- Run without filters: `/secondbrain-search "foobar"`

Refine Search

After showing results, offer refinement options:

### Refine Search

- `--entity=adrs` — Filter to ADRs only
- `--recent=30d` — Limit to last 30 days
- `--status=active` — Exclude archived items
- `"kubernetes AND deployment"` — Boolean operators
