Star Your Favorite Deep Search Threads

Deep Search helps you explore complex codebases through AI-powered conversational search. But as you accumulate more threads, finding that one insightful conversation from last week becomes a challenge. That's where stars come in.

With starred threads, you can now:

  • Mark important conversations with a single click
  • Access all your favorites from a dedicated tab in the sidebar
  • Quickly return to valuable insights without searching through your entire history

How It Works

Using stars is simple:

  1. Star a thread: Click the star icon on any Deep Search conversation you want to save
  2. View your stars: Open the new "Starred" tab in the Deep Search sidebar to see all your favorite threads in one place
  3. Unstar anytime: Click the star again to remove it from your favorites

Behind the scenes, we've added two new API endpoints to manage stars:

Add a star

curl -X POST https://demo.sourcegraph.com/.api/deepsearch/v1/390/star \
   -H "Authorization: token ${SRC_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \  
   -H "X-Requested-With: my-client 1.0.0"

Remove a star

curl -X DELETE https://demo.sourcegraph.com/.api/deepsearch/v1/390/star \
   -H "Authorization: token ${SRC_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \  
   -H "X-Requested-With: my-client 1.0.0"

This lightweight design ensures that starring threads are fast and doesn't impact your Deep Search experience.

Why This Matters

Whether you're onboarding a new team member, documenting architectural decisions, or solving a tricky bug, Deep Search threads often contain insights worth revisiting. Stars give you a personal collection of your most valuable conversations, making knowledge discovery faster and more organized.
