We can access the `in_memory_store` and the `user_id` in _any node_ by passing `store: BaseStore` and `config: RunnableConfig` as node arguments. Here's how we might use semantic search in a node to find relevant memories:

```python
def update_memory(state: MessagesState, config: RunnableConfig, *, store: BaseStore):

    # Get the user id from the config
    user_id = config["configurable"]["user_id"]

    # Namespace the memory
    namespace = (user_id, "memories")

    # ... Analyze conversation and create a new memory

    # Create a new memory ID
    memory_id = str(uuid.uuid4())

    # We create a new memory
    store.put(namespace, memory_id, {"memory": memory})

```





As we showed above, we can also access the store in any node and use the `store.search` method to get memories. Recall the memories are returned as a list of objects that can be converted to a dictionary.

```python
memories[-1].dict()
{'value': {'food_preference': 'I like pizza'},
 'key': '07e0caf4-1631-47b7-b15f-65515d4c1843',
 'namespace': ['1', 'memories'],
 'created_at': '2024-10-02T17:22:31.590602+00:00',
 'updated_at': '2024-10-02T17:22:31.590605+00:00'}
```





We can access the memories and use them in our model call.

```python
def call_model(state: MessagesState, config: RunnableConfig, *, store: BaseStore):
    # Get the user id from the config
    user_id = config["configurable"]["user_id"]

    # Namespace the memory
    namespace = (user_id, "memories")

    # Search based on the most recent message
    memories = store.search(
        namespace,
        query=state["messages"][-1].content,
        limit=3
    )
    info = "\n".join([d.value["memory"] for d in memories])

    # ... Use memories in the model call
```





If we create a new thread, we can still access the same memories so long as the `user_id` is the same.

```python
