What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.623.101652

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

I cannot search within the terminal panel in the Codex app.

When terminal output is visible in the app, there does not appear to be a working way to search that terminal buffer for text. This makes it hard to inspect long command output, logs, test failures, stack traces, or previous terminal history inside a Codex session.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open the Codex app.
  2. Start or open a session with terminal output.
  3. Focus the terminal panel.
  4. Try to search for text shown in the terminal output.

What is the expected behavior?

The terminal panel should support searching visible or buffered terminal output, for example through the standard find shortcut or a terminal-panel search UI.

Additional information

This is specifically about the terminal panel inside the Codex app, not the Codex CLI running in an external terminal.
