SpecStory Cloud is built to help you resurface decisions, reasoning, and context quickly. Once your histories are synced, Cloud indexes them for both keyword search and semantic search with fast retrieval and accuracy.

​
Search Basics

  • Use the search bar at the top of the Cloud dashboard.
  • Results combine:
    • Full-text search (matches exact words and phrases)
    • Semantic search (finds related meaning, even if phrasing differs) [ON ROADMAP]
Semantic search is powered by vector embeddings, so “auth login flow” will also find sessions about “sign-in routes” or “authentication screens”.

​
Filters

Search can be narrowed down and refined using the filter panel:
  • Projects: Select one or more synced projects.
  • Time Range: Focus results on a specific timeframe (like day-wise, week, or custom).

​
Exploring Results

Each result shows:
  • Title: Usually derived from the first prompt in the session.
  • Snippet: Preview of matched content with highlights.
  • Metadata: Project name, date, and file location if available.
Click a result to open the full conversation in context.
Cross-project search is powerful for rediscovering “that conversation about auth migrations” or “the refactor plan we discussed two months ago,” even if you don’t recall the exact repo.

​
Organizing Knowledge

SpecStory Cloud automatically groups sessions:
  • Workspace structure: Sessions are organized by project and sync source when uploaded.
Version important .specstory/history/ files in Git alongside your code. Cloud makes them searchable, Git keeps them reviewable in PRs.
