Code Search – Self-hosted code search and navigation across repositories

Summary: Code Search is a self-hosted platform that indexes repositories using Zoekt for fast string and regex search across millions of lines, combined with SCIP-powered navigation for go-to-definition and find-references. It enables bulk search-and-replace with preview and automated PR/MR creation for consistent code changes.

What it does

It indexes all repos locally for rapid search and supports code navigation features. Users can preview and execute bulk refactoring, generating pull or merge requests with standardized branches and descriptions.

Who it's for

Developers and teams needing fast, private code search and safe bulk refactoring across multiple repositories.

Why it matters

It addresses slow and risky code discovery and changes at scale by enabling safe, consistent updates across all repos without exposing code externally.
