# Search contacts and messages

`GET /chat/sessions/search`

Full-text search across contacts (by name, email, phone) and chat messages. Returns matching contacts and messages with their session IDs. Pass `contact_id` to scope message hits to a single contact — strongly recommended for customer-facing workflows so the response can never leak another customer’s messages.
