This is a metadata-only search. It doesn't search conversation content. Note that searching by session ID (e.g. `20251108_1`) is supported, but this property isn't displayed in the UI.
:::tip
You can [rename sessions](#name-session) to give them descriptive names that you'll remember later.

#### Search Across All Session Content
To search conversation content across all your sessions, ask goose directly in any chat session. For example:
This searches the content of messages in your conversations. The search is limited to the 10 most recent matching messages across sessions. If your search term appears in many messages, the search will only return a subset of sessions.
:::tip Ask goose directly
You can also use the built-in [Chat Recall extension](/docs/mcp/chatrecall-mcp) to ask goose to search your conversation history:
- "Find my earlier conversation about React hooks from last week"
- "Show me sessions where I worked on database migrations"
goose will search your session history and show relevant conversations with context from matching sessions.
:::info
This functionality requires the built-in [Chatrecall extension](/docs/mcp/chatrecall-mcp) to be enabled. You can enable it manually or, if [Extension Manager](/docs/mcp/extension-manager-mcp) is enabled, simply ask goose to use it:
- "Use chatrecall to find the latest status of the database migration project"
