When using the search feature in the main cursor menu, you can use it to find the agent that discussed whatever you were searching for, but there is not an ability to search the agent and find the reference inside the agent, Neither on the right click menu, the … menu, nor via ctrl+f. Instead what happens when you press ctrl+f it tries to find something in the diff panel in the change log… but instead I should be able to focus the agent and search it.
Additionally if you search via the find agent feature it should automatically scroll to the correct spot in the agent where the reference was instead of dropping you at the bottom for you to then have to use the find feature again…
Hi @Arthur_Fiedler Thanks for the post. You can already search inside an open agent chat. Click into the conversation itself (the transcript or the chat input, not the changes/diff panel), then press Ctrl+F. A find bar should appear so you can jump between matches, including text that’s scrolled off screen.
That lines up with what you’re seeing: Ctrl+F follows whichever pane has focus. If the changes panel is focused, it searches there instead of the chat. There isn’t a right-click or … menu item for this yet, so the shortcut is the entry point. If you’re in the Agents Window, you can also open the command palette and run Find in Chat.
This shipped in Cursor 3.11. If the find bar still doesn’t appear after you click the chat, check that you’re on 3.11 or later from Help > Check for Updates.
Your second point, having the global agent search land you on the matching spot in the transcript instead of the bottom of the chat, isn’t available yet.
Here’s some demos of this in action across the agents window and the legacy IDE view:
