Repository files navigation

This is a vim plugin that helps you interact withCodeSearch.

The goal is to index the contents of all source files within a working directory, and therefore being ableto run instantaneous search queries.

If you have the Pathogen plugin installed or any other plugin manager, thenjust copy this filetree into a subfolder of your Bundle folder.

The use of this plugin requires the binaries ofCodeSearch.Usego get github.com/junkblocker/codesearch/cmd/... to build them.

Prior to using the plugin you need to know:

• Where your source files are located
• What command can list the files to index
• Where csearch and cindex binaries are stored

Example with the sources of SQLite:

• Checkout sources using fossil:

  • cd /tmp && mkdir SQLite && cd SQLite
  • fossil clone https://sqlite.org/src bare_repository
  • mkdir index
  • mkdir worktree && cd worktree && fossil open ../bare_repository

• Declare your index. You need four arguments:

  1. Storage directory for the index
  2. Directory for your worktree
  3. Command listing files when inside the worktree
  4. Directory for the csearch and cindex binaries

  :call codesearchindex#declareindex('/tmp/index', '/tmp/SQLite/worktree', 'fossil ls', '/opt/codesearch/bin')

  or:

  :DeclareIndex /tmp/index /tmp/SQLite/worktree fossil\ ls /opt/codesearch/bin

  You can make helpers for this command when you intend to work on SQLite.

• Run a first-time indexation::MkIndex

• Perform a search::SearchExprInIndex write.*page

• Fill your clipboard with “as follows:”, then use:SearchFromRegisterInIndex + (if your + register is associated with clipboard)

I use (among others) the following mappings:

" Use F2 for case-sensitive search, F3 for case-insensitive search" F2 or F3 on a word: word lookup in index" F2 or F3 in visual mode: lookup for highlighted text" Shift-F2 or Shift-F3: lookup for text in clipboardnnoremap <F2>     :SearchWordInIndex <C-R><C-W><Return>nnoremap <F3>     :SearchWordInIndex! <C-R><C-W><Return>xnoremap <F2>     "zy:SearchFromRegisterInIndex z<Return>xnoremap <F3>     "zy:SearchFromRegisterInIndex! z<Return>nnoremap <S-F2>   :SearchFromRegisterInIndex +<Return>nnoremap <S-F3>   :SearchFromRegisterInIndex! +<Return>
