You are welcome. Glad to hear its working for you. I have a few ideas I am working on to improve its relevance too that I hope pan out.

Interesting. I too have been working in this space, though I took a different approach. Rather than building an index, I worked on making a "smarter grep" by offering search over c…

Been working on https://searchcode.com/ again which I bought back, albeit as code search tool for LLMs. It solves the “should I use this library” by allowing the LLM to inspect sea…

Many Muslims drink anyway. A lot of those in Iran brew wine/beer in their house. Tobacco in Australia has been taxed to the point we have a huge black market for it now. You would …

Id be ok with that if wine had the same taste. No alcohol free wine tastes even close, and none of them are good in their own right. Some of the non-alcoholic beers are pretty good…

I reimagined https://searchcode.com/ since I realised LLMs have issues when it comes to understanding code you want to integrate. It’s useful for looking though any codebase, or mu…

I read this when it came out and having written similar things for searchcode.com (back when it was a spanning code search engine), and while interesting I have questions about, We…

Not familiar with that tool. What follows is my best guess based on what I am seeing. Serena looks to be a precision tool. Since it uses uses LSP its able to replicate a lot of wha…

Show HN: CS – indexless code search that understands code, comments and strings
