Swift Code Search Tool

The Swift Code Search Tool analyzes Swift source across a repository to index symbols, types, and references using Swift syntax-aware parsing. It enables developers to search for a type, symbol, or usage in context, returning file paths, line numbers, and code snippets. Conceptually, the tool builds an index of Swift constructs, supports targeted queries (by symbol name, type, or usage), and ranks results by relevance and scope. It is especially valuable during feature implementation, onboarding, or refactoring when understanding cross-file interactions is critical. Core value lies in precise symbol resolution, context-aware results, and rapid feedback without manual code skim- ping. Typical use cases include locating where a protocol is implemented, finding all instances of a class initializer, or tracing where a function is called in different modules. Core features include AST-like indexing, symbol/type search, snippet extraction, module/target scope awareness, and a relevance-based ranking. The tool supports incremental indexing, language-version awareness, and integration with developer workflows, enabling faster iteration cycles for Swift projects. Businesses benefit from improved code comprehension, reduced risk during changes, and faster onboarding of new engineers. In practice, a user might search for a Swift protocol conformance or all usages of a type across targets, then inspect the returned snippets to verify behavior and dependencies. The tool differentiates itself by Swift-centric parsing, context-aware ranking, and scalable handling of large codebases.
