# Search by File Path
Find all work related to a specific file.
## When to Use
- User asks: "What changes did we make to auth/login.ts?"
- Understanding the history of a specific file
- Finding all observations that touched a file
## Command
```bash
curl -s "http://localhost:37777/api/search/by-file?filePath=auth/login.ts&limit=10&format=index"
```
## Parameters
- **filePath** (required): Full or partial file path
- Examples: "auth/", "login.ts", "src/components/Button.tsx"
- **format**: "index" or "full" (default: "full")
- **limit**: Number of results per type (default: 10, max: 100)
- **project**: Filter by project name (optional)
## Response Structure
Returns both observations and sessions that touched the file:
```json
{
"filePath": "auth/login.ts",
"count": 5,
"format": "index",
"results": {
"observations": [...],
"sessions": [...]
}
}
```
## Use Cases
**Full file path:**
```bash
curl -s "http://localhost:37777/api/search/by-file?filePath=src/auth/login.ts&limit=10"
```
**Partial path (matches all files in directory):**
```bash
curl -s "http://localhost:37777/api/search/by-file?filePath=auth/&limit=10"
```
**Filename only (matches across directories):**
```bash
curl -s "http://localhost:37777/api/search/by-file?filePath=login.ts&limit=10"
```
## How to Present Results
```markdown
Found 5 changes to auth/login.ts:
**Observations:**
1. 🟣 **#1234** Implemented JWT authentication
> Added token-based auth with refresh tokens
> Nov 9, 2024
2. 🔴 **#1235** Fixed token expiration edge case
> Handled race condition in refresh flow
> Nov 9, 2024
**Sessions:**
1. **Session #123** (Nov 8, 2024)
> Add user authentication
> Completed: Implemented JWT auth, added middleware
```
## Tips
1. Partial paths are powerful for finding all work in a directory
2. Use this before modifying a file to understand its history
3. Helps identify who/when/why changes were made
4. Combine observations + sessions for complete file history
