DeepLens

High-performance "Search Everywhere" for Visual Studio Code

DeepLens provides a powerful, unified search experience across your entire workspace. Quickly find types, symbols, files, and even API endpoints with lightning-fast fuzzy matching, CamelHumps support, and activity-based ranking.

🌟 Key Features

🔍 Search Everywhere

The ultimate navigation tool. Access everything in your workspace from a single dialog.

• Classes & Types: Find classes, interfaces, and enums instantly.
• Methods & Symbols: Search for functions, methods, and variables.
• Files: Locate any file by name or relative path.
• Commands: Execute VS Code commands directly from the search bar.
• API Endpoints: Specialized search for ASP.NET and web API endpoints.

🌐 Specialized Endpoint Search

DeepLens automatically extracts and indexes API endpoints (like GET /api/users) from your code, allowing you to navigate to the controller or handler responsible for a specific route.

⚡ Smart Matching Engine

• Fuzzy Search: Type partial matches like usebas to find useCallback.
• CamelHumps: Type RFC to find React.FC or RequestForComment.
• Ranking: Results are ranked based on match quality, item type, and your personal usage patterns.

🎯 Premium UI/UX

• Integrated Filters: Toggle between search scopes (All, Types, Symbols, Files, Endpoints) with a single click or keyboard shortcut.
• Live Statistics: See real-time counts of files and symbols as they are indexed.
• Activity Ranking: DeepLens learns which files you work on most and boosts them in search results.

🚀 Performance First

• Tree-sitter Powered: Uses native Tree-sitter parsers for C#, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, and more for near-instant indexing.
• Git Aware: Automatically respects your .gitignore and detects branch switches to keep the index fresh without draining resources.
• Persistence: Caches indices across sessions for instant startup.
