code search

A Rust-based hybrid local code search tool for developers and AI agents, with BM25 + semantic retrieval, persistent indexing, tree-sitter symbol search, and MCP/gRPC integrations.

Semble is a local-first code search tool for agents. It offers natural-language search, an MCP server, bash/AGENTS.md integration, and a Python API, with claims of faster indexing and much lower token usage than grep+read.

Open-source code search for coding agents, built on Jev, with benchmarked speed and token-use gains across Codex, OpenCode, and Claude Code.

Ambits is a code-reading and search tool for AI agents that adds symbol-aware grep/rg output plus session history tracking so agents can remember what they already read after context compaction.

Hawkeye is a developer tool for fast local code search and navigation across large codebases, with editing, focused replace, tabs, shortcuts, and Perforce support.
