probelabs / probe
AI-friendly semantic code search engine for large codebases. Combines ripgrep speed with tree-sitter AST parsing. Powers AI coding assistants with precise, context-aware code understanding.
Why this job: says: ai coding
What it does
- Code-Aware. Tree-sitter AST parsing understands your code's actual structure
- Semantic Search. Elasticsearch-style queries (AND, OR, NOT, phrases, filters)
- Complete Context. Returns entire functions, classes, or structs -- not text chunks that break mid-function
- Zero Indexing. Instant results on any codebase. No embedding models, no vector databases, no setup
- Deterministic. Same query always returns the same results. No model variance, no stale indexes
