I’m new to Cursor. What surprises me is that the AI chat seemingly can’t utilise the old-fashioned code search.
When I ask the AI chat to adapt all callers to a change in signature of a constructor, it tells me that I have to add the files to the context of the chat. If I use @codebase, it manages to do it but this I understand is comparatively expensive.
Why, without @codebase, do I have to do the traditional code search and add the files to the context of the AI chat? Cursor could utilise this? I’m reading about its support for MCP!
I’m curious about this and it was at least for me a somewhat disappointing first experience, as it happened to be the first thing I tried. Not to worry, I’m exploring further and enjoying.
