codesearch VS hoogle

Whenever I work on huge codebase (think 1M+), I always reach for Russ Cox's codesearch https://github.com/google/codesearch. It requires indexing the codebase first, which takes 15 minutes or so, but after that searches are instant.

There is some older version that's open source, I haven't tried it and I don't know how much of today's code search is based on it.

If you want to find exact pieces of syntax then you should use a code search engine like GitHub's, Sourcegraph, or Google's codesearch. On the flip side, these won't be as good as Google for finding general ideas because they're focused more toward the precision of answers rather than giving you things that are related.

Check https://github.com/google/codesearch or https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp4.html, this is actually possible.

Dimensions behave somewhat like a "type system" for math. These dimensional-analysis tricks act like the trick you see in Haskell sometimes, where you can easily guess an implementation of an expression once you know it's type (or e.g. search by type signature https://hoogle.haskell.org/ )

Haskell Spotlight makes vscode a client for hoogle. It isn't too different than jumping into your browser and type https://hoogle.haskell.org/. The main advantage is that you have everything in one place

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base and https://hoogle.haskell.org are automatically up to date and better searchable than almost any other reference of any other programming language. maintaining a redundant reference that needs to be kept up to date manually is simply stupid.

Ideally like this: https://zio.dev/reference/#concurrency

Or this: https://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=fork

And yeah I get it, it's hard to Google for punctuation operators in languages because it doesn't give useful search results (but not impossible, for example, Haskell has a search engine for documentation that handles symbols/punctuation).

{ "customLocalFormatters.formatters": [ { "command": "make format", "languages": ["haskell"] } ], "emeraldwalk.runonsave": { "commands": [ { "match": "*.hs", "isAsync": true, "cmd": "make retag retag_file=${file}" } ] }, "ghcid.command": "make ghcid", "goto-documentation.customDocs": { "hs": "https://hoogle.haskell.org/?hoogle=${query}" } }

You had a look at Hoogle?

For some type signatures there is (are) only one (or only a few) meaningful implementation(s).
