# Search in the CLI

> Use `entire search` to find checkpoints, sessions, and commits from your terminal.

Use the CLI when you are already in a repository and want fast search results from the terminal.

## Run a Search

Run `entire search` from an Entire-enabled Git repository:

```shell theme={null}
entire search "auth token refresh"
```

Run without arguments to open interactive search:

```shell theme={null}
entire search
```

## Search Scope

By default, CLI search is scoped to the current repository.

Search another repository:

```shell theme={null}
entire search "auth token refresh" --repo entirehq/entiredb
```

Search all repositories you can access:

```shell theme={null}
entire search "auth token refresh" --all-repos
```

You can also use an inline repo filter:

```shell theme={null}
entire search "repo:* auth token refresh"
```

## Filter Results

Filter by author, branch, or date:

```shell theme={null}
entire search "retry logic" author:alex branch:main date:month
```

Use JSON output for scripts, automation, or agent instructions:

```shell theme={null}
entire search "auth token refresh" --json
```

For exact syntax and flags, see the [`search` command reference](/cli-reference/search).
