AST-based code search enables precise structural matching that textual searches often miss, accelerating code exploration and safer refactoring by focusing on syntax and node relationships rather than just text.
Start by running sg-search with a query to locate code patterns across your codebase and review results before optionally applying sg-rewrite changes with --apply.

You can search code patterns using AST matching by running sg-search with a structural query to locate specific code constructs across your codebase. This structural pattern matching focuses on syntax and node relationships rather than just text to accelerate code exploration.
The best way to plan refactoring is using AST-based code search to find function-call patterns and identify refactor opportunities in legacy code. SG-search performs structural matching on syntax trees to locate exact code constructs safely.
Combining AST search with ripgrep improves code discovery by reconciling precise structural matching with broad textual coverage. AST search finds syntax constructs that text search misses, while ripgrep handles general keyword hits across large codebases.
You can safely apply structural code changes by using sg-rewrite to preview changes before applying them. After locating patterns with sg-search, run sg-rewrite to apply structural changes safely across the matched code constructs.
Yes, astgrep supports security audits across multiple programming languages by using sg-langs and sg-check to coordinate language support and tooling readiness. This enables structural pattern matching for auditing legacy code across large codebases.
