Search That Remembers

2026-03-15 — Search That Remembers

You search for something. You get a good answer. Then you want to ask the obvious follow-up — but there's no way to, because the search box doesn't know what you just asked. You either rephrase the whole thing with enough context baked in, or you start over and hope it lands close enough. Search has always been stateless. Every question is the first question.

That made sense when search was a keyword box returning ten blue links. It doesn't make sense when the system understands your question well enough to synthesize an answer from real sources. If it can understand what you're asking, it should be able to remember what you already asked.

Follow-ups

Momor now keeps your conversation as a thread. When you ask a follow-up, the system checks whether the conversation already contains what it needs before going back to search. If you spent three questions narrowing down a neighbourhood and then ask about transit options nearby, Momor doesn't re-search for the neighbourhood — it already has that context and builds on it. When your follow-up is genuinely new territory that the thread doesn't cover, it runs the full search pipeline. The difference between these two paths is why some follow-ups come back almost instantly and others take the usual few seconds.

When your question is genuinely ambiguous or depends on something you haven't said — your location, a time frame, which of two interpretations you meant — Momor asks rather than guessing. A clarifying question takes a second; a confidently wrong answer wastes your time.

Saving

Conversations are ephemeral by default, living in cache for about 30 minutes while you're working and then gone without ever touching permanent storage. The first time you follow up, Momor asks whether to save the thread to your account, and you can set that preference to always save, always ask, or never save — it sticks across sessions. Saved threads live in your account until you delete them, accessible from the sidebar and grouped by time.

Recovery and Transparency

If something breaks mid-conversation — a source times out, a tool call fails — Momor marks what happened and picks up from that point rather than restarting the whole conversation. Each interaction has an activity trace showing which tools ran, what the reasoning looked like, and where the data came from, so you can see the work behind an answer when you want to and ignore it when you don't.

Accounts

The old Free tier — anonymous search with no account — is gone. Threads, preferences, model selection, the thought toggle: everything shipped in the last few months requires knowing who you are, and anonymous search stopped making sense when the product became about context and continuity. The replacement is Basic, which is still free and works the same way. Sign-in is also simpler now, walking through method, email, and confirmation in a single flow instead of bouncing between modals.

What this means for you: Ask the follow-up you've always wanted to ask. Pick up where you left off. And if you'd rather nothing persist, don't save the thread — it'll be gone in 30 minutes like it was never there.
