hound

At work I host a couple of internal tools for myself and my coworkers that I expose with a web UI. Most of them are useful productivity tools. My favorite: - Hound for indexing and searching internal repos with RegEx https://github.com/hound-search/hound - jsonnet-playground to render and share jsonnet snippets https://github.com/michaeljs1990/jsonnet-playground - diff-text to quickly compare text or code https://github.com/andygock/diff-text Anyone have any other fun/useful ones they use? How are people hosting these their tools?

Another solid code search tool https://github.com/hound-search/hound. Based on regexp

For code search, I've heard Hound is pretty good but I haven't personally tried it yet. The UI is a bit clunky though. I'm wondering if one can port the old Apache-licensed Sourcegraph UI? https://github.com/hound-search/hound

Another resource is a trigram search index (in Go) used by etsy/hound[0] based on an article (and code) from Russ Cox: Regular Expression Matching with a Trigram Index[1]. [0] https://github.com/hound-search/hound [1] http://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp4.html Different use-cases for alternatives to Lucene depending on your needs.

Surprised that hound https://github.com/hound-search/hound isn't mentioned. I thought it was the leader of open source solutions in this space. I've been using Wikimedia's instance ( https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/search/ ) and have generally been pretty happy with what it provides.

If you're gonna go the csearch route, you should also consider hound. I use it many times per day. https://github.com/hound-search/hound

The same algorithm is also used in Hound (https://github.com/hound-search/hound) though I have to say the best implementation of code search by far that I've seen is https://grep.app You really should check it out if you haven't already. It's incredibly useful; I used it all the time. Not open source though.

There is also Hound [8]. [8]: https://github.com/hound-search/hound

Hound is an excellent implementation of this for code search: https://github.com/hound-search/hound

If the docs are generated from comments in the code a simple ripgrep search of the source (with fzf or other integration) will find things just as well too. Hound is a nice little web UI that does this: https://github.com/hound-search/hound

Especially if this is long term, this is a great tool: https://github.com/hound-search/hound#hound It would be great if someone integrated this with tree-sitter plus something to make the search semantics a bit smarter about usages of X: https://www.etsy.com/codeascraft/announcing-hound-a-lightnin... Screenshots: https://jaxenter.com/hound-go-react-code-search-engine-15008... Another trick I use for Java: javap all the Enums out of the compiled artifacts; these indicate weird things like "modes" that you can use to start asking questions relevant to the domain. Like "why are there four ways to reprice an invoice" or finding the "types" of fees or w/e in a billing system. (assuming enum classes are used)

I reach for Hound-search[0] (originally Etsy Houndd) that uses Russ Cox's "Regular Expression Matching with a Trigram Index" I had even made self-serve hosting for it but didn't put much effort into monetizing or otherwise promoting it. [0] https://github.com/hound-search/hound

At Oracle (keep in mind every org within Oracle is very different) I wrote a crappy script to grab all repos in my org and hook them up to Etsy Hound [0]. But I couldn't stick with it long enough for it to be useful. It's surprising to me how much effort is not being put into whole-org code search. Most projects focus solely on single-repo search. If you need to make breaking changes or find examples and you don't even know where to look, single-repo search isn't so useful. [0] https://github.com/hound-search/hound

A searchable nix config index would be easy to setup using https://github.com/hound-search/hound
