Limits

Unsupported

• Running alongside pi-memory. Both capture every exchange and both inject context. Pick one; the comparison below is what to read when choosing.
• Milvus Server and Zilliz Cloud. Milvus Lite only.
• Windows. milvus-lite ships no Windows wheels. Use WSL2.
• A forked or patched memsearch. The package orchestrates the released CLI and invents no memory format of its own. Parity with the rest of the mesh is the constraint the whole design answers to (ADR 0001), and a fork would break the store other agents read.

Compared to pi-memory

pi-memory, the existing community option, delegates search to qmd and keeps its store user-global at ~/.pi/agent/memory.

	pi-memsearch	pi-memory
Search backend	memsearch	qmd
Strong hits, 35 queries / 223 files	32/35	26/35
Store scope	per git root	user-global

They tie on short keyword queries. memsearch wins on paraphrased and natural-question recall, the phrasing you actually use when asking “how did we fix X?” three weeks later. Method and per-query results: the benchmark.

The other difference is not measurable in hit rates. memsearch already integrates Claude Code, OpenClaw, OpenCode and Codex CLI, all sharing one markdown format and one collection-name derivation. This package joins pi to that mesh rather than giving it a private store.
