Finding Your Images & Videos
Samsa's search helps you find any image or video you've created — just describe what you're looking for and it'll find matching results.
Opening Search
You can open the search bar in two ways:
Click the search icon in the sidebar menu (bottom left)
Use the keyboard shortcut: Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux)
Search works from any page — you don't need to navigate anywhere first.
How It Works
Open search and type a description of what you're looking for
Results appear as you type, showing matching images and videos
Click a result to open it
Each result shows a thumbnail preview, the prompt that was used, whether it's an image or video, and when it was created.
Smart Search
Search doesn't just match exact words — it understands what you mean. For example:
Searching "sunset at the beach" also finds images with prompts like "golden hour ocean scene"
Searching in one language finds results created in another — "Sonnenuntergang" finds images prompted with "sunset"
Returning to Search
When you click a result and open it in the viewer, closing the viewer brings you right back to your search with all your results still there. This makes it easy to browse through multiple results without losing your place.
Keyboard Shortcuts

Search Tips
Be descriptive: "woman in red dress walking through a garden" works better than "nice picture"
Try different wording: If one phrase doesn't find it, rephrase — the search understands meaning, not just exact words
Search across languages: You can search in any language and find results regardless of what language the prompt was in
