# Search

> Search your CORE memory from the terminal

The `corebrain search` command gives you an interactive terminal UI to search documents stored in your CORE instance's memory.

## Usage

```

## Interface

The command opens an interactive TUI with two modes:

**Search mode**

* Type a query and press `Enter` to search
* Results appear as a list below the search box, showing title, source, and labels
* Up to 20 results are returned per query

**Document view**

* Press `Enter` on a result to open the full document content
* Scroll through content with `↑` / `↓` or `j` / `k`
* Page through with `PgUp` / `PgDn`
* Press `q` or `Esc` to go back to results
