Command-Kon macOS orCtrl-Kelsewhere, enter a query, and choose the Search action
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 meaning and keywords, so describe what you are looking for rather than giving an instruction. A query likegit 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”.
