Golang Library Search Extension
This Cursor extension helps you search globally across Golang projects, including searching within dependency library files after running go mod tidy.
Features
- Search for code content in Golang project dependencies
- Support direct navigation to dependency library code locations
- Compatible with standard Golang module projects
- Display search results in sidebar with highlighted keywords
- Prioritize non-test files in search results
Usage
- Open a Golang project containing a
go.mod file
- Run the "search golang files and dependencies" command via the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P)
- Enter the keywords to search for
- View search results, click on a result to jump to the corresponding library file location
Requirements
- Go language environment installed
- Project must be based on Go modules (containing a go.mod file)
- Dependencies must have been downloaded with
go mod tidy or go mod download
How It Works
The extension implements global search through the following steps:
- Uses
go env GOMODCACHE to get the location of the Go module cache
- Uses
go list -m all to get all modules that the project depends on
- Searches for user-specified keywords in the module cache using grep
- Converts search results to location information that VSCode/Cursor can understand
- Displays matches in the search results panel with highlighted keywords
