Why this topic matters

Code search has come a long way from command-clicking into references or traversing ASTs. Modern code search tools blend traditional IR techniques with generative AI workflows to push the boundaries of code exploration and understanding. Getting comfortable with this paradigm is essential for anyone building or maintaining large-scale engineering systems.
