Code Understanding
Code is parsed with language-aware analysis that understands syntax, structure, functions, and classes. Search by code structure, not just text. Supports all major programming languages.
How it works
Each synced code file is parsed using language-specific analyzers that understand syntax trees. Functions, classes, interfaces, and imports are extracted as structural elements. Search can target specific code structures -- find all functions that handle authentication, or all classes that implement a specific interface. The analysis supports C#, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, and more.

Why it matters
Text search in code generates false positives. Searching for 'user' matches variable names, comments, strings, and actual user-handling logic indiscriminately. Code understanding lets you search by structure -- find the authentication middleware, not every file that mentions 'auth.' This is the difference between finding what you need and drowning in irrelevant results.
