Feature Request:
Allow us access to the indexing and semantic search features in the “Search” (all files) sidebar.
Cursor indexes the current repository and the Agent can perform Semantic Searches to intelligently retrieve relevant code in the codebase. If Semantic Search was added as a search option in the Search Sidebar, we could leverage the power of the embeddings/indexing that Cursor uses behind the scenes for our day to day development. I don’t want to ask an Agent to do everything for me, I want/need to do some things myself because its faster, easier, and I need to trust the results.
Use case:
I want to find the code in my repo that transforms markdown into structured data. A basic search returns too many results. I can types my search term in the searchbar, and select an icon option for ‘semantic search’. The same tool that the Agent uses to perform file searches is used, and the results are shown in order of similarity score (or however they are returned to the Agent).
Sure I can do this by asking the agent to search, but that takes longer and costs money. Cut out the middle man-bot.
