Best Code Search Engines for GitLab

Cody is a coding assistant AI that lives inside your editor. It can find, explain and write code. Cody combines Large Language Models (LLMs), Sourcegraph Search, and Sourcegraph Code Intelligence to provide answers and eliminate toil for human programmers. Cody is your programmer friend who has read all the open source code, all the StackOverflow questions, and all the private code of your organization. He will always be there to answer any questions or suggest solutions based on his prior knowledge. Enterprises love Cody because it provides choice for: Any scale - Cody works for developer teams of any size, from startups to the biggest companies in the world. Any code host - Every code host and repository, to give the most accurate context from the largest codebases. Any LLM - Sourcegraph’s interoperability allows Cody to work with what LLM and context sources are best for your organization.

Sourcegraph shows you the repositories that you use, stored in any code host or search across the open-source universe. With smart filters and Code Intelligence, you can quickly find answers with regular, structural, or literal expression searches. Extensions allow you to connect all your tools, including test coverage, 1-click file in editor, custom highlight, and information from other services. To help engineers learn unfamiliar code faster, create living documentation using Markdown and live query code. Use collaborative, shareable notebooks to navigate through your codebase and resolve issues. You can embed HTML in notebooks wherever you can, just like your internal documentation. This will allow you to spend less time updating outdated docs. To learn more about the code and repository structure, search across all code hosts.

Ask a question about your codebase. Documatic intelligently finds the answer. Documatic searches use AI to understand your question and identify the code or documentation that contains the answer. Ask questions via the Documatic platform, Vscode, and Slack. Visualize how your codebase's important infrastructure interacts. You will never again have to wonder if a function affects your AWS resources. Documatic creates a map of your codebase to allow you to quickly see the flow information from one file to another, and even folder to folder. We highlight critical infrastructure such as cloud, databases, and payment processors to ensure you are always aware of the impact of your code on security. You can create documentation for the changes made to your codebase every day, week, and month.

Kooder is an open-source code search project that offers code, repositories, and issues search service for code hosting sites such as Gitee, GitLab, and Gitea. There are two modules: gateway and indexer. Gateway is integrated within gateway in default configuration.
