codebase-search

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 : - Finding specific functions or classes - Tracing function calls and dependencies - Understanding code structure and architecture - Finding usage examples - Identifying code patterns - Locating bugs or issues - Code archaeology (understanding legacy code) - Impact analysis before changes - Where is feature X implemented? - How does feature Y work? - What files are involved in feature Z? - Where is this error coming from? - What code handles this case?
