How do I search my persistent memory store for specific information during a conversation?

You can search your persistent memory store by running the command `ei "query"` to retrieve specific information that was not automatically injected into the current context.

When do I need to manually retrieve information from my memory context?

You need to manually retrieve information from your memory context when automatic injection fails to surface specific details or past records required for your current conversation.

What's the best way to find past details not included in automatic context injection?

The best way to find past details not included in automatic context injection is executing a deliberate search query using the command-line interface to scan your persistent memory.

Do I need a command-line interface to perform mid-conversation information retrieval?

Yes, you need a command-line interface to execute searches and interpret the results retrieved from your persistent memory store during mid-conversation information retrieval.

Can I use this targeted search to find a specific topic discussed earlier?

Yes, you can use this targeted search to find a specific topic discussed earlier by querying your persistent memory store for exact terms that were not auto-injected.

Why does automatic context injection not surface all my persistent memory records?

Automatic context injection does not surface all persistent memory records because it is limited by design, requiring deliberate command-line searches to retrieve deeper or less relevant historical details.
