Indexing a codebase for semantic search requires discovering project files, parsing code symbols, and generating embeddings. This infrastructure orchestration validates index health to enable fast repository querying.

Codebase indexing requires databases and an embedding model to be running. You must verify these infrastructure prerequisites are active before initiating file discovery and symbol parsing.

Verify search index health by checking index readiness after the embedding generation completes. This validation ensures the semantic search infrastructure correctly parsed your fresh clone or new project.

Yes, semantic search indexing works on fresh clones. The process checks prerequisites, discovers files, parses symbols, and validates index health specifically for new projects or freshly cloned repositories.

The best way to prepare a project for semantic search is orchestrating infrastructure checks, file discovery, symbol parsing, and embeddings generation. This validates index health and ensures repository readiness.

Codebase indexing fails before search validation if infrastructure prerequisites like databases or the embedding model are not running. The process enforces these prerequisite checks prior to file discovery.
