SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quickly locate relevant knowledge and code across HQ and indexed repositories using both semantic (qmd-powered) and full-text search, with a reliable fallback to grep when qmd is unavailable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic + full-text search across HQ knowledge and indexed codebases.
  • Automatic collection scope with context-aware results and a Grep fallback when qmd is unavailable.
  • Supports multiple collections (hq-infra, hq-workers, hq-knowledge, hq-projects, product codebases, and per-company collections) with auto-detection.
  • Returns structured results with snippet previews to accelerate comprehension.

Quick Start

Ask it to search for a term across HQ collections to get ranked results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search across multiple codebases using both semantic and full-text matching?▼

Codebase search supports both semantic and full-text matching across multiple collections using qmd-powered commands, returning structured results with snippet previews to accelerate comprehension.

What happens to codebase search when qmd is unavailable?▼

When qmd is unavailable, the codebase search gracefully degrades to a Grep fallback, still returning structured results and snippets without relying on the semantic search engine.

Can I search HQ knowledge and product codebases at the same time?▼

Yes, you can search HQ knowledge and product codebases simultaneously with automatic collection scope detection across hq-infra, hq-workers, hq-knowledge, hq-projects, and per-company collections.

What is the best way to find specific code snippets across indexed repositories?▼

The best way to find code snippets across indexed repositories is using semantic search with qmd, which provides context-aware ranked results and snippet previews for quick comprehension.

Do I need qmd installed to perform semantic search on my codebase?▼

No, you do not need qmd installed to search your codebase because the tool gracefully falls back to Grep full-text matching when qmd-powered semantic search is unavailable.

Why does my codebase search return Grep results instead of semantic matches?▼

Codebase search returns Grep results instead of semantic matches when qmd is not available in your environment, triggering the automatic full-text fallback mechanism.
