Search & similar runs
As your run history grows, you need ways back into it: the run you did last Tuesday, every run on a release branch, the ones that cost the most, or simply others like the one you're looking at. Search and similar runs are how you find them. Both are free in every edition, because a record you can't search isn't much of a record.
Searching runs
Open the Search tool window from the magnifying glass in the left rail, or run Search Runs… from the command palette. Type to filter, and narrow with the structured filters:
- Text matches a run's ID, its workflow, its folder name, and the git branch any of its attempts ran on.
- Workflow, git branch, and runtime narrow to runs that used a particular one.
- A date range bounds when the run was created.
- Completeness limits to runs that finished, or to ones still in progress.
Search is scoped to the window's active project — you're looking within the current stream of work — and the Default project also includes every unfiled and legacy run.
Results are listed most recent first. Each row shows the workflow, the run ID, when it ran, its branch, how many attempts it has, whether it completed, and the total cost when the runtimes reported one. Click a row to open the run; right-click for Open Run, Copy Run ID, and Reveal in Finder.
Text search covers identifiers and branches, not the contents of prompts or outputs. Full-text search over the work itself is planned; for now, search finds runs, and provenance tells you what's inside one.
Similar runs
When you're looking at an attempt and want to know how the same workflow has gone before, open the Similar Runs section in the inspector. It lists other runs of the same workflow, the ones on the same workflow version first, since those are the closest comparison. It loads only when you expand it, so it costs nothing until you ask. If the workflow has no other runs yet, it says so rather than inventing matches. Click any result to open it, the same as in search.
Opening a result
Search results and similar runs both open into the center of your workspace, right where a run from the recent-runs list would. Nothing is copied or moved; you're just navigating your own history.
