Steps to reproduce
echo '## Test Entry' >> ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/test.mdopenclaw memory index --forceopenclaw memory status→ shows memory files indexed with chunksopenclaw memory search 'Test Entry'Expected
Results include matches from memory files (
memory/*.md).Actual
All results come from session transcripts. Memory files are indexed (54 files, 936 chunks) but never appear in search results, even when the exact queried content exists in a memory file.
Tested with multiple queries, including exact phrases known to exist only in memory files. Hybrid mode (vector + FTS). Consistent across force reindexes.
