SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating reference indexes for multi-index search across external codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Add, update, remove, and list named references to external sources that are indexed and surfaced in search results.
  • List and audit all configured references with path and weight metadata to fine-tune ranking.
  • References are stored separately from the project and re-indexed as needed to reflect source changes.

Quick Start

Add a reference with a name and source path, then update or remove as needed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage external codebase indexes for multi-index code search?

You can manage external codebase indexes by adding named references with a source path, validating the source, and indexing contents. The reference metadata is stored in your configuration and supports add, list, update, and remove operations.

What is a reference index and when do I need it for software projects?

A reference index stores metadata for external repositories, allowing them to be surfaced in search results alongside primary project indexes. You need it when searching across external codebases separately from your main project.

How do I add and update external repositories to my search indexes?

Add a reference by providing a name and source path, which validates the source and indexes contents. Update references by re-indexing as needed to reflect source changes and adjusting path or weight metadata to fine-tune ranking.

Can I fine-tune search ranking for external codebase references?

Yes, you can fine-tune search ranking by listing and auditing all configured references with their path and weight metadata. Adjusting these values changes how prominently external sources appear in multi-index search results.

Do I need to store external repository indexes inside my primary project?

No, reference indexes are stored separately from the primary project. The metadata is kept in your user configuration, allowing you to re-index external sources independently to reflect source changes.
