Description

If I just pull up search in a new session without typing anything. [ SESSION+ ] and [ GLOBAL ] are indistinguishable. However once I start to type [ SESSION+ ] incorrectly (based on my understanding of the docs) matches [ SESSION ]. IE. It will only match commands from the current session not global plus the current session.

Additional Possibly relevant info

I recently upgraded to the latest version of atuin. I’d missed a few upgrades in between since my last upgrade. (And doesn’t seem I did my usual backup before this upgrade so not sure which version I upgraded from. Last backup was 2026-04-20 so likely when I last upgraded before this time).

I normally use [ DIRECTORY ] as my filter mode and then switch to [ SESSION+ ] if I’ve never run that command in the current directory. However I noticed that a command I expected to find didn’t show up. Once I switched to [ GLOBAL ] the command showed up and I realized I wasn’t getting the full history.
