This makes cursor essentially useless on large codebases.
Same problem here
Hey, maybe you shouldn’t index the entire project. You can also exclude package files from indexing, like node_modules, by creating a .cursorindexingignore file.
You can find more details about this here:
Anyway, if your project is large, you can split it into parts and work with specific files at the moment.
FWIW, I did this and worked well. I had a bunch of files that didn’t make sense being part of the index like npm packages, caches, logs, etc. Once I ignored those the index built very quickly
