Code Search for Builder
About the Project:
Goal of this project is to implement Fuzzy search of symbols in the project and improve Go to Definition in GNOME Builder.Currently using Go to Definition we can go to definition which is in current file or file linked to current file. This project aims at going to definition, from a reference, which can be in any where in the project. This project also implements Global Search of symbols using this we can do fuzzy search of all symbols in the project. This project is divided into implementing 3 things,
- Plugin to index source code
- Search provider which will retrive fuzzy matches from index corresonding to a query
- Symbol resolver which will use index to find location of definition of a reference or declaration

Improvements & Bug fixes
In progress
Progress regarding this project is being updated here anoopchandu@wordpress.
Result:
I successfully implemented all the three things indexer, search provider and symbol resolver. Now we can search for any symbols in the project and we can go to definition of a symbol where ever it is. Currently this supports only C/C++ source files. Other languages can be supported easily by implementing an indexer interface.
