cs VS hound

That’s one of the reasons I made this actually https://github.com/boyter/cs

I wanted and boolean syntax mixed with fzf instant search. It’s not as fast as ripgrep of course but it’s not solving the same problem.

Neat. This is similar to a tool I have been working on (but need to finish off) as I saw the same issue.

Except rather than build an index I brute forced the search each time. For most repositories it’s fast enough even with ranking.

https://github.com/boyter/cs For those interested it’s still very WIP with noticeable issues in TUI mode.

A few things.

An implementation of bitfunnel search in Go which I plan to put into searchcode.com at some point once I get all the issues resolved and if performance is acceptable

A command line search tool which brute forces with search ranking https://github.com/boyter/cs/ mostly for code but works pretty well for other things as well

Atlassian Confluence Cloud plugins. Mostly out of personal interest and because there appears to be a good marketplace to produce mostly passive income there.

For code search, I've heard Hound is pretty good but I haven't personally tried it yet. The UI is a bit clunky though. I'm wondering if one can port the old Apache-licensed Sourcegraph UI? https://github.com/hound-search/hound

Another resource is a trigram search index (in Go) used by etsy/hound[0] based on an article (and code) from Russ Cox: Regular Expression Matching with a Trigram Index[1].

Different use-cases for alternatives to Lucene depending on your needs.

The same algorithm is also used in Hound (https://github.com/hound-search/hound) though I have to say the best implementation of code search by far that I've seen is https://grep.app

You really should check it out if you haven't already. It's incredibly useful; I used it all the time. Not open source though.

There is also Hound [8].

Agreed, I already have Hound setup to search across all the different repos I pull from (bitbucket, gh, gitlab, gitea etc) but now I need to find a docker equivalent.

i know you're looking for first-party tools that is part of the whole package, but hound does this fantastically and is extremely easy to setup, and is ridiculously fast.

Especially if this is long term, this is a great tool:

It would be great if someone integrated this with tree-sitter plus something to make the search semantics a bit smarter about usages of X:

Another trick I use for Java: javap all the Enums out of the compiled artifacts; these indicate weird things like "modes" that you can use to start asking questions relevant to the domain. Like "why are there four ways to reprice an invoice" or finding the "types" of fees or w/e in a billing system. (assuming enum classes are used)

Nice too that it's a compiled language, so you get the end tool in a nice static binary. As a non-Node dev, I hate the experience of hacking on some project and having to install a giant pool of NPM stuff just run some minifier or linter. Hound is an example of this— the guts of the project are golang, but it has a frontend that uses webpack, jest, etc: https://github.com/hound-search/hound

Which is fine, I guess; definitely use the right tool for the job. And maybe Node developers hate finding my Python projects and needing to set up a virtualenv to run them in. But all the same, I approve a direction where more of this kind of tooling is available without a build-time Node dependency.
