Pull request overview
Updates goose Desktop documentation to reflect the new “search conversation history across sessions” behavior (backed by the /sessions/search API), replacing the previously documented metadata-only search.
Changes:
- Replaces the prior “search by name/path/session ID” documentation with “Search Across Sessions” for conversation-content search.
- Documents the 10-message (not 10-session) limit and the resulting “subset of sessions” behavior.
- Adds guidance to use the Chat Recall extension as an alternative way to search history.

| You can also use the built-in [Chat Recall extension](/docs/mcp/chatrecall-mcp) to ask goose to search your conversation history: | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This section uses both “Chat Recall” and “Chatrecall” for the same extension (the CLI section below says “Chatrecall”), which is inconsistent with the extension page title; please standardize the user-facing name throughout this doc (e.g., “Chat Recall”).
