SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables developers to locate relevant code across large repositories by performing structured searches, reducing manual inspection time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Broad Search: find exact matches and related terms across components, utils, services, and hooks.
  • Deep Dive & Synthesis: read matches, trace imports/exports, and map usage across files.
  • Use Cases: quickly identify where a function or concept is used to assist refactors and debugging.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to locate all usages of a given symbol or pattern across the codebase and summarize the findings.

Frequently Asked Questions about deepsearch

FAQPage Schema
How do I locate all usages of a function across a large monorepo?

To locate all usages of a function across a large monorepo, perform a structured codebase search that identifies exact matches and traces imports, exports, and usage sites. It maps primary locations and related files into a synthesized report.

What is the best way to trace imports and exports across multiple file types?

Tracing imports and exports across multiple file types requires a deep dive search mechanism that reads exact matches and connects them to their usage sites. It systematically synthesizes structural relationships across directories.

Can I find specific code patterns spanning multiple directories for a refactor?

Yes, you can find specific code patterns spanning multiple directories for a refactor by executing a broad search. It identifies exact matches and related terms across components, utils, and services to assist systematic refactoring.

Does deep code navigation work for connecting symbols to their usage sites?

Deep code navigation works for connecting symbols to their usage sites by mapping occurrences of a target concept across the codebase. It reads matched patterns and traces their connections to produce a structured report.

Why does manual code inspection take so long in large repositories?

Manual code inspection takes long in large repositories because locating relevant code across multiple directories and file types requires extensive manual tracing. Structured searches reduce this by automating pattern matching and synthesis.
