Local-first code search engine with full-text search, symbol extraction, and dependency analysis for AI coding workflows.
npm install -g reflex-search Indexes a 27,448-file Kubernetes checkout in 7.7s on 16 cores. Median queries on a 30 MB corpus: ~3ms for a common word, ~12ms for a regex.
Finds every occurrence — not just definitions — across the same files ripgrep searches. Whole-identifier matching by default, plus substring and case-insensitive search.
MCP server with 17 tools, JSON output for agent pipelines, built-in AI query assistant. In A/B tests, same task success at ~31% lower cost per task.
Rust, TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, C/C++, and more, parsed with Tree-sitter for precise symbols. Every other non-binary file is indexed for full-text search.
Import tracking, reverse lookups, circular detection, hotspot analysis across your entire codebase.
Fully local, fully offline. Same query, same results, and every response says whether the index is fresh. Your code stays on your machine.
