search-tools

The best way to search for conceptual features is using semantic search tools like LEANN, which map user needs to specific mechanisms for efficient code exploration and understanding.

Use a code search decision tree to choose between AST-grep for structural analysis and Grep for literal text matching, ensuring the most efficient and accurate tool is applied to your query.

You need structural search when your objective requires analyzing code syntax and structure rather than simple text matching, optimizing search efficiency by directing queries to the appropriate mechanism.

Yes, you can use the search methodology to find class definitions by selecting the appropriate tool, such as fast text search via Morph or literal search via Grep, based on your query type.

Semantic search reduces wasted time and tokens by directing queries to the most appropriate search mechanism, standardizing search methodologies to efficiently map user needs to specific tools.

Using a single tool limits coverage across query types, as no single mechanism handles semantic, structural, and text-based searches simultaneously, making a standardized search strategy necessary for precision.
