Score breakdown
Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.
Why it matters
Useful for engineers who want a single Rust-based search engine that handles dense vectors, sparse vectors, and metadata filters, and who want ColGREP's regex-plus-semantic code search to live next to it. Install the crate, index a codebase, and pipe ColGREP queries into Claude Code or Cursor without sending source code to a third-party service.
