Research Knowledge Base

Search emdx for existing knowledge about: $ARGUMENTS

Search Commands

Full-text search (default):

bash
emdx find "query"

Semantic/conceptual search:

bash
emdx find "concept" --mode semantic

Search with key info extraction:

bash
emdx find "query" --extract

Filter by tags:

bash
emdx find --tags "gameplan,active"              # AND logic (all tags)
emdx find --tags "gameplan,analysis" --any-tags  # OR logic (any tag)

Exclude tags:

bash
emdx find "api" --no-tags "archived,draft"

Filter by date:

bash
emdx find "query" --created-after 2026-01-01
emdx find "query" --modified-after 2026-02-01

Recent documents:

bash
emdx find --recent        # Last 10 accessed
emdx find --recent 20     # Last 20

View a specific document:

bash
emdx view <id>

Short summary results:

bash
emdx find "query" -s

Discover topics and coverage gaps:

bash
emdx explore              # Cluster docs into topics
emdx explore --gaps       # Find thin/stale areas

Search Strategy

  1. •Start broad: emdx find "topic" -s to see what exists
  2. •Narrow with tags: emdx find --tags "analysis,active"
  3. •Try semantic if keyword search misses: emdx find "concept" --mode semantic
  4. •Check recent work: emdx find --recent
  5. •Explore topics: emdx explore for a high-level map

Important: FTS5 Limitations

emdx find does NOT support OR/AND/NOT operators — terms get quoted internally. To search for multiple concepts, run separate find commands:

bash
emdx find "authentication" -s
emdx find "login flow" -s
emdx find "session management" -s

After Finding Results

  • •Use emdx view <id> to read full documents
  • •Reference existing work instead of redoing it
  • •If nothing exists, proceed with new research and save results with /emdx:save
