Sherloque

Sherloque is an all-language, keyword-based, full-text search extension for VSCode.

It uses a full text search engine and intelligent tokenization to enable you to quickly find what you’re looking for, even when you’re not quite sure what it’s called.

Traditional code search tools, whether a part of our IDEs, or CLI-based are fantastic tools for finding what you need, if you know exactly what you need to find but just don’t know where it is.

What about when you’re learning a new codebase or stepping back into a large one and you don’t know or cannot remember the exact name of what you’re looking for?

Focus on finding the code you need instead of remembering the exact function/class/method/variable name.
