Global search

Guide · Core Studio 3.0 · Verified 2026-09-01

The sidebar search box does full-text search over method sources — SQLite FTS5, BM25 ranking with snippets — scoped by model.

  • Type at least 3 characters; matches appear under “Source matches”.
  • Results are marked partial while the tier-4 FTS tail is still indexing — element and method-name lookup is already complete; only source full-text matches may be missing.
  • Watch index-tier-complete (or the status bar’s AOT segment) for full convergence.

Verify it worked

  • A 3+ character query returns source matches with snippets, scoped by model.
  • After index-tier-complete, the partial marker disappears — a negative result is now trustworthy.

If it goes wrong

  • Elements found but no source matches — the tier-4 FTS tail is still running; wait for convergence (status bar shows progress).
