Find a book or poem you half-remember

A plot point, a striking image, a line from school. Search Fragments is built for exactly this kind of memory.

Search Fragments is a free, non-commercial prototype. No account needed. It works on half-remembered songs, films, books, TV, people, historical events, inventions, sport, places, art and culture, and it can also check a specific claim.

Example queries

Written in the way people usually describe these things:

  • “a long narrative poem where shipwrecked sailors run out of food and eat the dog”
  • “a novel where the footnotes slowly become the real story”
  • “a children’s book where all the countries are named after colours”

How to ask

  • Say whether it was a novel, a poem, a short story or a picture book.
  • Describe the moment you remember most clearly.
  • Mention when you read it, for example at school or recently.
  • Describe what you remember in your own words. Partial and uncertain clues are fine.
  • Say which details you are sure of and which are guesses.
  • In Claude or Cursor, ask your assistant to use Search Fragments, for example: “Use Search Fragments to find …”.
  • You get a named answer with a source, a ranked shortlist to check by eye, or an honest no-resolution. It is built to decline rather than guess.

Try it

Setup and tool details: documentation. Why agents bluff on this kind of query: when AI agents should answer, and when they should not.
