File Search

File Search provides expert-level guidance on using ripgrep (rg) and ast-grep for codebase exploration. It selects the optimal flags, patterns, and tools for each search scenario so you get precise results fast.

Whether you need a simple text search or a complex structural code pattern query, File Search knows the right invocation.

Features:

• Ripgrep patterns with optimal flags (-l, -n, -A, -B, --type, --glob)
• ast-grep structural search for code patterns across ASTs
• Common scenarios: find usages, dead code, import graphs, TODO comments
• Multi-file refactoring search patterns
• Combines rg and ast-grep for language-aware searches
