Cursor fails at searching through codebase

Describe the Bug

Hi,

I have been for a longer period been struggling with making Cursor perform successful codebase searches. Previously, when I was able to explicitly add codebase search, then it worked. But later on, this option of explicitly adding codebase searches was removed and when I try to make Cursor to make own codebase searches implicitly, it has been failing since ever then.

I have already written to Cursor’s team about this, but I never got any reply from them. Therefore, I would like to give this forum a shot.

Steps to Reproduce

While I do not can provide specific steps, I can only point to the specific request ID that is associated with the picture: 80b91426-7422-4999-b4c6-6b510795b454. I would like to better understand what in the background that is failing in order to better understand how I can proceed with resolving this issue.

Expected Behavior

I want it to be able to perform a successful codebase search and then be able to use the retrieved codebase information as context for its responses to me.
