Slomo CLI: search — Full-Text and Field-Filter Search

slomo search lets you find any recorded event across all sessions. Combine free-text terms with field=value filters in a single command to narrow results precisely.

slomo search TERMS... [OPTIONS]

TERMS

string

required

Free text and/or field=value filters, mixed freely.

Option	Default	Effect
`--limit`, `-n`	`50`	Max hits returned

Examples

slomo search timeout                          # full text, all sessions
slomo search "connection refused" -n 100
slomo search module=checkout                  # field filter
slomo search timeout module=checkout user=42  # text + fields
slomo search type=sql session=a1b2            # SQL events in one session
slomo search method=POST status=500           # failed POSTs

Fields

Field	Matches against
`module`	producing module of a function event
`function` / `fn`	function name
`type`	event type (substring: `type=sql` hits `sql.query` and `sql.result`)
`session`	session id prefix
`logger`	logger name
`url`, `method`, `status`	HTTP event payloads
`user`, `host`	payload keys
anything else	looked up recursively in payloads — custom keys from your `event()` calls work

Matching is case-insensitive substring matching. Multiple fields AND together.

How it executes

Pure text queries run against the SQLite FTS5 index — fast at any history size.
Queries with field filters stream the JSONL timelines directly, newest session first, stopping at the limit.

Results show the event id, session, type, timestamp, and a snippet; follow up with slomo timeline <session> or slomo replay <session> to see a hit in context.
