codebase-search

Search and navigate large codebases with semantic search, grep patterns, and file discovery. Feature implementation : Bug location : API usage : Configuration : Semantic search (for conceptual questions): Grep (for exact text/patterns): Glob (for file discovery): 1. Start broad, then narrow : 2. Use directory targeting : 3. Combine searches : Find function definition : Find class definition : Find class/function usage : Find imports/requires : Find configuration : Find TODO/FIXME : Find error handling : Trace data flow : Find all callsites of a function : Understand a feature end-to-end : Find related files : Impact analysis : Use appropriate context : Case sensitivity : File type filtering : Regex patterns : Git integration : IDE integration : Documentation : No results found : Too many results : Wrong results : - Supports three search modes: semantic search for conceptual queries, grep for exact text and regex patterns, and glob for file discovery by type or naming convention - Includes workflow guidance for common scenarios like tracing function calls, understanding feature implementations, locating bugs, and performing impact analysis - Provides language-specific patterns for Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, and Java across function definitions, class usage, imports, and error handling - Covers advanced techniques for data flow tracing, end-to-end feature understanding,...
