Case-insensitive substring match across every message in the current session — text blocks, tool-result bodies, tool_use names + JSON args, and thinking blocks. Returns numbered rows with a role tag (user/asst/tool/sys) and a ~80-char context snippet around the first hit per message. /search error /search "fn main" /search Bash ls Caps at 20 hits to avoid flooding the scrollback. Character- boundary-aware snippet slicing so multi-byte content (emoji, CJK) doesn't panic on mid-glyph cuts.

Summary
Adds `/search ` (alias `/find`) — case-insensitive substring match across every message in the session, with a context snippet and role tag on each hit.
```
5 [user] …what does `fn main` do in Rust?…
7 [asst] …a `fn main` is the entry point of the binary…
12 [tool] …Searched src/ for fn main and found…
3 match(es) for "fn main".
```
Searches all text-bearing content: text blocks, tool-result bodies, tool_use names + JSON args, and thinking blocks. Caps at 20 hits so a stray common word (`the`, `error`) doesn't flood the scrollback.
Why
`/scroll` has search but only while inside the viewer. `/history` only shows your prompts. Neither helps you find "where did the agent mention the error string" or "which tool call read that config file". `/search` covers that gap from the main REPL.
