You may have noticed that search on the Visual Studio Code website has gotten a lot quicker lately. In our latest blogpost, João Moreno breaks down the engineering process behind docfind, a search engine we built that runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly:

A search engine has many moving parts, and they constantly change with scale of index and traffic. In this blog post, we dive into the code-level abstractions we've built to develop search infrastructure that is both performant and a joy to work with.

Searching for files in large projects has never been easier 🚀 Check out the real-time search results for the #vscode project, which has thousands of files (and yes, we use Visual Studio Code to write Visual Studio Code). You can easily switch between fuzzy matching and continuous matching too!

🔍 A𝗋𝖼 S𝖾𝖺𝗋𝖼𝗁 🔎 If Aliens arrived it'd be hard to explain why your Web Browser & Search Engine are different products (hint: $). What if we merged Search + ChatGPT *within* Arc's CMD Bar so you didn't need to go anywhere? Any other native Search+AI in browser ideas?

We've acquired the fastest code search engine on the planet (of over 500k+ Git repos). We'll support it as a standalone tool, API, and integrate its search engine into v0 & the Vercel platform.

Big moment for Postgres! Search has always been Postgres' weak spot, and everyone just accepted it. If you needed a real relevance-ranked keyword search, the default answer was to spin up Elasticsearch or add Algolia and deal with the data sync headaches forever. The problem isn't that Postgres can't do text search. It can. But the built-in `ts_rank` function uses a basic term frequency algorithm that doesn't come close to what modern search engines deliver. So teams end up: - Running a separate Elasticsearch cluster just for search - Building sync pipelines that inevitably drift out of consistency - Paying for managed search services that charge per query - Accepting mediocre search relevance because "good enough" ships faster But this is actually a solvable problem. You can realistically bring industry-standard search ranking directly into Postgres, which eliminates the need for external infra entirely. This exact solution is now available with the newly open-sourced pg_textsearch by Tiger Data - Creators of TimescaleDB, a Postgres extension that brings true BM25 relevance ranking into the database. BM25 is the algorithm behind Elasticsearch, Lucene, and most modern search engines. Now it runs natively in Postgres. Here's what pg_textsearch enables: - True BM25 ranking with configurable parameters (the same algorithm powering production search systems) - Simple SQL syntax: `ORDER BY content 'search terms'` - Works with Postgres text search configurations for multiple languages - Pairs naturally with pgvector for hybrid keyword + semantic search That last point matters a lot for RAG apps. The video below shows this in action, and I worked with the team to put this together. You can now do hybrid retrieval (combining keyword matching with vector similarity) in a single database, without stitching together multiple systems. The syntax is clean enough that you can add relevance-ranked search to existing queries in minutes. pg_textsearch is fully open-source under the PostgreSQL license. You can find a link to their GitHub repo in the next tweet.

we built an extremely good code search agent. it’s called tracer, and it can search across the entire github in less than 5 minutes and come back with a clean report. you can try it by running 'bunx nia-wizard'

Just got on board with the United Cajun Navy aiding in the search of the Cumberland River for Riley Strain. Right now they’re using airboat for visual search, but plan on using lights and sonar when it gets dark.
