`timeRange`	`{ start?: number; end?: number }`	No	Explicit timestamp range in milliseconds.
`contentTypes`	`string[]`	No	Exact `content_entity.type` filter list. Pass one or more values to restrict search results to those stored content types.
`feedIds`	`string[]`	No	Restricts search to entries from one or more subscribed feed IDs. Get IDs from `POST /list-feeds` or MCP `list_subscribed_feeds`.
`feedScope`	`"all"`	No	Set to `"all"` to restrict search to entries from all subscribed feeds. Omit to search the full library unless `feedIds` is set.
`feedReadStates`	`("unread" \| "read" \| "archived")[]`	No	Optional read-state filter for feed entries. Omit to include unread and read entries while excluding archived entries.
`viewIds`	`string[]`	No	Restricts search to one or more accessible saved views. Use this for view-scoped searches that need LLM-ready or full responses.
`sortBy`	`"date-asc" \| "date-desc"`	No	Default is `"date-desc"`.
`offset`	`number`	No	Minimum `0`. Default is `0`.
`limit`	`number`	No	Minimum `1`, maximum `500`, default `30`.
`relevanceThreshold`	`number`	No	Semantic relevance threshold.
`enableRerank`	`boolean`	No	Overrides reranking behavior. Default is on for compact `raw=false` output and off for `raw=true`.
`raw`	`boolean`	No	Default `false`. `false` returns the compact slim response as a `results` array. `true` returns the full machine-readable payload.
`rerankWindow`	`number`	No	Default `100`, capped at `100`.
`includeTags`	`boolean`	No	Includes related tags in the reference payload.
`includeNotes`	`boolean`	No	Includes annotations attached to each matched content entity. Default is `false`.

Search behavior

raw defaults to false, which returns the compact, token-efficient response shape with consistent top-level type, url, createdAt, title?, text, and optional slim media.
Set raw: true to receive the original machine-readable response with results, extraEntities, referencesByResultId, referencedEntities, and referencedTags.
If your client exposes response options named llm and full, use llm when you want the default compact response (raw: false or omitted), and use full when you want the machine-readable response (raw: true).
Search responses include direct references for annotation and chat-thread results by default.
Search result entities include a resolved url whenever Memex can derive a stable source URL. Prefer that field for citations and references.
includeTags adds related tag entities and tag IDs to referencesByResultId.
In raw: true, includeNotes adds an annotations array on each matched result. Each note includes compiled text, resolvedReferences, and a references field. That references field contains the note’s direct reference entities, and if one of those direct references is itself an annotation, that nested annotation includes its own references one level deeper.
In raw: false, includeNotes adds user_notes on each compact result in the results array. Each note is precompiled into YAML text with its own compact references object.
Raw annotation and chat-thread references are resolved from both reference_content_ids and memex-reference nodes found inside annotation JSON content or chat-thread message JSON content.
Search requests only consume credits when reranking is applied.
Compact raw=false requests default reranking on when the query is eligible for rerank. Raw raw=true requests default reranking off unless you explicitly pass enableRerank: true.
Rerank-enabled requests cost 1 credit and can return credit errors plus upgradeOptions.
Unsupported contentTypes values are rejected with an error that includes the supported values.
Omitting both feedIds and feedScope searches the full library, not only feed-sourced content.

LLM vs full response options

Use the same search route for both response modes:

llm response: omit raw or set "raw": false. This is the default and is best for agent prompts, summaries, and direct LLM context because results are compact and normalized.
full response: set "raw": true. This is best for programmatic processing because it preserves the full result graph, including extraEntities, referencesByResultId, referencedEntities, and referencedTags.

Search inside a view with the LLM-ready response:

{
    "viewIds": ["view_id"],
    "query": "vector database benchmarks",
    "limit": 10,
    "raw": false
}

Search inside a view with the full response:

{
    "viewIds": ["view_id"],
    "query": "vector database benchmarks",
    "limit": 10,
    "raw": true,
    "includeNotes": true
}

Feed-focused search

Use POST /list-feeds or MCP list_subscribed_feeds to fetch feed IDs first. Search one feed:

{
    "query": "vector databases",
    "feedIds": ["feed_id"],
    "limit": 20
}

Search multiple specific feeds:

{
    "query": "vector databases",
    "feedIds": ["feed_id_1", "feed_id_2"],
    "limit": 20
}

Search all subscribed feeds:

{
    "query": "vector databases",
    "feedScope": "all",
    "limit": 20
}

Include archived feed entries as well:

{
    "query": "vector databases",
    "feedScope": "all",
    "feedReadStates": ["unread", "read", "archived"],
    "limit": 20
}

Available `contentTypes` values

These are the exact persisted content_entity.type values accepted by POST /search, POST /search-content, and the MCP search_content tool: web, pdf, youtube, twitter, instagram, tiktok, facebook, linkedin, pinterest, reddit, snapchat, chatgpt, claude, annotation, image, transcribedMedia, audioRecording, selector, chatThread, twitterProfile, subreddit, youtubeChannel Example:

{
    "query": "transcript search",
    "contentTypes": ["youtube", "transcribedMedia", "audioRecording"],
    "limit": 10
}

Auth: authenticated user for viewId, or no auth when using a public shared view token
Used for: searching only inside the content matched by a saved view
Response contract: the full/raw /search response shape from Response shape

POST /execute-view-search always returns the full response shape. If you want the LLM-ready compact response for a private view, call POST /search with viewIds: ["view_id"] and omit raw or set raw: false. Use raw: true for the full response.

Field	Type	Required	Notes
`viewId`	`string`	Required unless `token` is supplied	Saved view ID accessible to the authenticated user.

`offset`	`number`	No	Minimum `0`. Default is `0`.
`limit`	`number`	No	Minimum `1`, maximum `500`, default `30`.

Authenticated view example:

curl https://api.memex.garden/execute-view-search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MEMEX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "viewId": "view_id",
    "query": "vector database benchmarks",
    "limit": 10,
    "enableRerank": true
  }'

Public token example:

curl https://api.memex.garden/execute-view-search \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "token": "public_view_token",
    "query": "launch notes",
    "limit": 10
  }'

Behavior notes:

The search is first constrained to content matched by the view’s saved expression.
tagIds, contentTypes, and timeRange only narrow the view result set further.
If the scoped view contains no matching content, the response uses the raw search shape with an empty results array.
