FAQPage Schema
How do I interpret semantic code search results from Maproom?

Maproom semantic code search results include headers, ranked results, and preview snippets. Understanding this structure helps you trace why specific code chunks matched your query and how to navigate the output effectively.

What is the difference between full text search and vector search in Maproom?

Maproom uses full text search (FTS) for exact keyword matching and vector search for semantic similarity. Understanding how these algorithms combine helps explain why certain results appear for your queries.

How do I troubleshoot common errors when using the Maproom CLI?

Troubleshooting Maproom CLI errors involves diagnosing common issues related to search execution and result retrieval. The guide helps you quickly identify error sources and resolve problems with your code search commands.

Why does semantic code search return unexpected results for my query?

Unexpected semantic code search results often stem from chunking strategies or vector matching nuances. Analyzing the search headers and preview snippets clarifies why the algorithm selected specific code blocks.

How does code chunking affect Maproom search accuracy?

Code chunking in Maproom divides source files into segments for indexing. Understanding this process is essential for diagnosing why semantic search algorithms return specific code blocks instead of whole files.

Can I use Maproom semantic search without understanding its underlying architecture?

You can use Maproom semantic search without deep architectural knowledge, but understanding concepts like FTS, vector search, and chunking significantly improves your ability to interpret results and diagnose errors.
