Zoekt

Zoekt is a text search engine intended for use with source code. (Pronunciation: roughly as you would pronounce "zooked" in English).

Zoekt supports fast substring and regexp matching on source code, with a rich query language that includes boolean operators (and, or, not). It can search individual repositories, and search across many repositories in a large codebase. Zoekt ranks search results using a combination of code-related signals like whether the match is on a symbol. Because of its general design based on trigram indexing and syntactic parsing, it works well for a variety of programming languages.

The two main ways to use the project are:

• Through individual commands, to index repositories and perform searches through Zoekt's query language
• Or, through the indexserver and webserver, which support syncing repositories from a code host and searching them through a web UI or API
