Semantic Code Search

This repository has colgrep installed - a semantic code search CLI.

Use `colgrep` as your PRIMARY search tool instead of Search / Grep / Glob.

Quick Reference

bash

# Basic semantic search
colgrep "<natural language query>" --results 10   # Basic search
colgrep "<query>" -k 25                           # Exploration (more results)
colgrep "<query>" ./src/parser                    # Search in specific folder
colgrep "<query>" ./src/main.rs                   # Search in specific file
colgrep "<query>" ./src/main.rs ./src/lib.rs      # Search in multiple files
colgrep "<query>" ./crate-a ./crate-b             # Search multiple directories
 
# File filtering
colgrep --include="*.rs" "<query>"                # Include only .rs files
colgrep --include="src/**/*.rs" "<query>"         # Recursive glob pattern
colgrep --include="*.{rs,md}" "<query>"           # Multiple file types (brace expansion)
colgrep --exclude="*.test.ts" "<query>"           # Exclude test files
colgrep --exclude-dir=vendor "<query>"            # Exclude vendor directory
 
# Pattern-only search (no semantic query needed)
colgrep -e "<pattern>"                            # Search by pattern only
colgrep -e "async fn" --include="*.rs"            # Pattern search with file filter
 
# Hybrid search (text + semantic)
colgrep -e "<text>" "<semantic query>"            # Hybrid: text + semantic
colgrep -e "<regex>" -E "<semantic query>"        # Hybrid with extended regex (ERE)
colgrep -e "<literal>" -F "<semantic query>"      # Hybrid with fixed string (no regex)
colgrep -e "<word>" -w "<semantic query>"         # Hybrid with whole word match
 
# Output options
colgrep -l "<query>"                              # List files only
colgrep -n 6 "<query>"                            # Show 6 context lines (use -n for more context)
colgrep --json "<query>"                          # JSON output

Grep-Compatible Flags

Flag	Description	Example
`-e <PATTERN>`	Text pattern pre-filter	`colgrep -e "async" "concurrency"`
`-E`	Extended regex (ERE) for `-e`	`colgrep -e "async\	await" -E "concurrency"`
`-F`	Fixed string (no regex) for `-e`	`colgrep -e "foo[bar]" -F "query"`
`-w`	Whole word match for `-e`	`colgrep -e "test" -w "testing"`
`-k, --results`	Number of results to return	`colgrep --results 20 "query"`
`-n, --lines`	Number of context lines (default: 6)	`colgrep -n 10 "query"`
`-l`	List files only	`colgrep -l "authentication"`
`-r`	Recursive (default, for compatibility)	`colgrep -r "query"`
`--include`	Include files matching pattern (repeatable)	`colgrep --include="*.py" "query"`
`--exclude`	Exclude files matching pattern	`colgrep --exclude="*.min.js" "query"`
`--exclude-dir`	Exclude directories	`colgrep --exclude-dir=node_modules "query"`

Notes:

-F takes precedence over -E (like grep)
Default exclusions always apply: .git, node_modules, target, .venv, __pycache__
When running from a subdirectory, results are restricted to that subdirectory. To search the full project, specify . or .. as the path
Multiple --include patterns use OR logic (matches if file matches any pattern)
Brace expansion is supported: *.{rs,md,py} expands to match all three types

When to Use What

Task	Tool
Find code by intent/description	`colgrep "query" -k 10`
Explore/understand a system	`colgrep "query" -k 25` (increase k)
Search by pattern only	`colgrep -e "pattern"` (no semantic query)
Know text exists, need context	`colgrep -e "text" "semantic query"`
Literal text with special chars	`colgrep -e "foo[0]" -F "semantic query"`
Whole word match	`colgrep -e "test" -w "testing utilities"`
Search in a specific file	`colgrep "query" ./src/main.rs`
Search in multiple files	`colgrep "query" ./src/main.rs ./src/lib.rs`
Search specific file type	`colgrep --include="*.ext" "query"`
Search multiple file types	`colgrep --include="*.{rs,md,py}" "query"`
Exclude test files	`colgrep --exclude="*_test.go" "query"`
Exclude vendor directories	`colgrep --exclude-dir=vendor "query"`
Search in specific directories	`colgrep --include="src/*/.rs" "query"`
Search multiple directories	`colgrep "query" ./src ./lib ./api`
Search CI/CD configs	`colgrep --include="/.github//*" "q" .`
Need more context lines	`colgrep -n 10 "query"`
Exact string/regex match only	Built-in `Grep` tool
Find files by name	Built-in `Glob` tool

Key Rules

Default to `colgrep` for any code search
Increase `--results` (or -k) when exploring (20-30 results)
Use `-e` for hybrid text+semantic filtering
Use `-E` with -e for extended regex (alternation |, quantifiers +?, grouping ())
Use `-F` with -e when pattern contains regex special characters you want literal
Use `-w` with -e to avoid partial matches (e.g., "test" won't match "testing")
Use `--exclude`/`--exclude-dir` to filter out noise (tests, vendors, generated code)
Use brace expansion for multiple file types (e.g., --include="*.{rs,md,py}")
Agents should use `colgrep` - when spawning Task/Explore agents, they should also use colgrep instead of Grep
