grepai-search-boosting

What problem does it solve?

GrepAI search results can be noisy and hard to tune; this skill enables targeted boosting to improve relevance by elevating important code paths and suppressing noisy paths such as tests, docs, and vendor code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Path-based ranking: Boost core source directories (e.g., /src, /core) to appear higher in results.
• Noise suppression: Penalize tests, docs, vendor directories to reduce irrelevant results.
• Use Case: When searching for implementation details, production code should rank higher than tests or documentation.

Quick Start

Enable search boosting in your GrepAI configuration and provide sample patterns for penalties and bonuses. For example, in your config.yaml:

search: boost: enabled: true penalties: - pattern: /tests/ factor: 0.5 - pattern: /docs/ factor: 0.5 - pattern: /vendor/ factor: 0.3 bonuses: - pattern: /src/ factor: 1.1 - pattern: /core/ factor: 1.2
