Search

Once documents are ingested, you can search them via the Web UI or MCP tools.

Web UI search

Open http://127.0.0.1:3235/ui/search and use the search bar. The Web UI supports:

• Document search and code search with separate tabs
• Real-time search with debounced queries
• Collection and source filters
• Expanded chunk view (click any result to see the full passage)
• Copy-to-clipboard for source paths

MCP search

Use the search_documents and search_code MCP tools from any connected client:

// Search documents
{
  "tool": "search_documents",
  "input": {
    "query": "HIPAA data handling procedures",
    "limit": 5
  }
}

// Search code
{
  "tool": "search_code",
  "input": {
    "query": "authentication middleware",
    "limit": 5
  }
}

Result format

Each result includes:

• Rank and similarity score (cosine similarity, 0–100%)
• Source path and page/line number
• Matched text chunk
