## Usage Examples

```bash
/search-exp code                    # Search for "code"
/search-exp tool:ChatGPT           # Filter by tool
/search-exp tag:debugging          # Filter by tag
/search-exp rating:5               # Filter by rating
/search-exp "python function"      # Search phrase
```

  • Broadening your search terms
  • Checking spelling
  • Using /ai-report to see all experiments
  • Using different filter criteria
```

## Sorting Options

Support sorting with suffix:
```bash
/search-exp code :date        # Sort by date (newest first)
/search-exp code :rating      # Sort by rating (highest first)
/search-exp code :tool        # Sort by tool name (alphabetical)
```

## Limit Results

Default to showing 10 results, with pagination hint:
```
Showing 10 of 45 results. Use filters to narrow down.
```

## Implementation

Use the `list_experiments` MCP tool with appropriate filters:
- `searchQuery` for text search
- `aiTool` for tool filter
- `rating` for rating filter
- `tags` for tag filter
- `dateFrom` / `dateTo` for date range

Format output to be readable in terminal with proper spacing and visual hierarchy.
