Codebase and indexing Not clear- Per project or

With the codebase, are we talking about 1 codebase per project/workspace or 1 codebase for all the projects? If the latter, then it doesn’t make much sense and could explain why cursor starts to get bad after a while if you have multiple projects.

can someone confirm which way it is?

Hi @ogmios2

I think there’s a separate codebase for each of your projects.

I am starting to think it is not or it is buggy.

I deleted index in one of the projects and then added it back. The project only had one html page for testing purpose. The index showed as 100% full, which doesn’t make sense as one page should not be representing a 100% of the limit of the index, unless I misunderstand how that part is working.

Also after I deleted the index in that project I opened up another project and it was rebuilding in the other project, as if the index in the other project had been deleted.

Surprised that no one can answer that question… :frowning:

A few months later… and no hope to get a clear answer on this? :frowning:

Hey, sorry for the delayed response. 100% is not a limit but the percentage of indexed files. As far as I know, there are no limits on the codebase size, but larger codebases tend to perform worse, so it’s recommended to manage them using the .cursorignore file.

Thank you very much for the answer.

I was hoping to get some firm answer your previous answer: that it’s a separate code base for each project but it doesn’t seem like anyone else has been able to confirm it.

But again thank you very much for your time, I appreciate it! :slight_smile:
