Why we included this project

ColGREP is a semantic code search tool built as a single Rust binary. It builds a local index of a project, then answers natural-language queries like "database connection pooling" alongside plain regex and keyword patterns. You can search by meaning and still pin down an exact identifier or substring at the same time. Everything runs locally, so your code never leaves your machine and there's no server or API to stand up. It also plugs into coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, which makes it handy at the terminal and gives an agent a fast, private way to find relevant code. If you'd rather not run a separate search service, the self-contained design is appealing, and you can swap in different ColBERT models from HuggingFace to tune results.
