SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quickly locate relevant knowledge and code across HQ and indexed repositories using both semantic (qmd-powered) and full-text search, with a reliable fallback to grep when qmd is unavailable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic + full-text search across HQ knowledge and indexed codebases.
  • Automatic collection scope with context-aware results and a Grep fallback when qmd is unavailable.
  • Supports multiple collections (hq-infra, hq-workers, hq-knowledge, hq-projects, product codebases, and per-company collections) with auto-detection.
  • Returns structured results with snippet previews to accelerate comprehension.

Quick Start

Ask it to search for a term across HQ collections to get ranked results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search across multiple codebases using both semantic and full-text matching?

Codebase search supports both semantic and full-text matching across multiple collections using qmd-powered commands, returning structured results with snippet previews to accelerate comprehension.

What happens to codebase search when qmd is unavailable?

When qmd is unavailable, the codebase search gracefully degrades to a Grep fallback, still returning structured results and snippets without relying on the semantic search engine.

Can I search HQ knowledge and product codebases at the same time?

Yes, you can search HQ knowledge and product codebases simultaneously with automatic collection scope detection across hq-infra, hq-workers, hq-knowledge, hq-projects, and per-company collections.

What is the best way to find specific code snippets across indexed repositories?

The best way to find code snippets across indexed repositories is using semantic search with qmd, which provides context-aware ranked results and snippet previews for quick comprehension.

Do I need qmd installed to perform semantic search on my codebase?

No, you do not need qmd installed to search your codebase because the tool gracefully falls back to Grep full-text matching when qmd-powered semantic search is unavailable.

Why does my codebase search return Grep results instead of semantic matches?

Codebase search returns Grep results instead of semantic matches when qmd is not available in your environment, triggering the automatic full-text fallback mechanism.
