Just noticed something off recently – the Advanced codebase feature seems to have vanished into thin air. This is the one in the sidebar chat with the nifty collapsible section for tweaking context for semantic search. It was a game-changer for filtering stuff in or out and really fine-tuning semantic searches.
Loved using those include/exclude filters – they were super handy. Sure, we can still tag files with @filepath, but regex filtering was much more cost-efficient and direct, saving us time and headaches. Now, without a way to exclude files, it feels like something is missing.
Sometimes, for Cursor, getting the context right can be a bit of a puzzle. Being able to exclude /vendor/ or include specific bits under a /node_modules/ dependency made things much easier.
Not sure if this feature got axed by design or if it’s just a glitch. Either way, I’m seriously missing it. It would be awesome to have it back on board!
