Once you are logged in to Entire, open Search from the sidebar.
You must be logged in to use Search, including when searching public repositories.
You can also:
  • press / to open Search directly
  • press Command-K on macOS or Ctrl-K elsewhere, enter a query, and choose the Search action
With an empty query, Search shows your recent searches.

​
Choose Repositories

By default, Search includes every indexed repository you can access. Use the Repository filter to search one or more specific repositories. You do not need a local clone to search a repository in Entire.io. The repository must be available to your Entire account and indexed. If it does not appear in the filter, you cannot search it from Entire.io yet.

​
Enter a Query

Enter a phrase, question, function name, error message, or other text. The examples below come from the indexed Entire CLI repository. They show how Search behaves, but this repository may not appear in your Repository filter.

​
Find Past Work

To find related past work, enter a short phrase or ask a natural-language question. Semantic search matches the content of past work, so describe what you are looking for rather than giving an instruction. A query like git optimization works better than show me all of the latest git optimizations: words such as “show me all of the” do not appear in the work itself and dilute the match. To find recent work, use the date filter instead of words like “latest”.

​
Find Text in Source Code

Use the Code tab when you know text that appears in a source file, such as a function name, error message, or configuration option:

​
Review Results

After you enter a query, choose a tab to review one kind of result:
  • Commits show related Git commits.
  • Sessions show related agent conversations.
  • Code shows lines containing literal matches from indexed source files.

​
Filter Results

Filter past-work results by repository, date, or branch, and sort them by relevance, date, author, or title. Code results can be filtered by repository. Select a commit or session to open it. In Code, expand a file to view its matching lines.
