Issues with searching for identifiers in C++ namespaces

[sschuberth]

On your internal searchcode instance we're having trouble searching for C++ identifiers that include a namespace, they are not found. To compare, I tried to search for "std::cout" on the public instance, which returns some results:

https://searchcode.com/?q=std%3A%3Acout

But interestingly, e.g. a search for "std::vector" returns a 500 error on the first try:

https://searchcode.com/?q=std%3A%3Avector

I seems to make a difference whether you directly click the above search URL for the first time, or whether you enter "std::vector" at https://searchcode.com/ and then click "search". The latter seems to work. Very odd...

Actually the public instance is a separate codebase entirely compared to the local one searchcode server. I do have a public searchcode server instance at http://demo.searchcodeserver.com/ however it is only running over about 20 repositories. I am in the process of merging the codebases though and hopefully at some point in the next few months they will be running 90% the same code.

Can you provide a list of terms you are searching for and files that you belive should match. I can then improve the index pipeline to take these into account.

[sschuberth]

Sure. As one example, I'd expect http://demo.searchcodeserver.com/?q=PhysicsServer%3A%3Aget_singleton to match the 16 instances of "PhysicsServer::get_singleton" in https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/master/scene/3d/area.cpp (turning on "Literal Search" does not make a difference).

[boyter]

Cheers. Ill look into that now.

Should be resolved with 964616a

[sschuberth]

Great, thanks for the quick fix! When will this get deployed to demo.searchcodeserver.com for some further testing?

[boyter]

Probably in the next day or two. I want to do some more local testing before I actually publish it.

[boyter]

Long time coming but published to demo.searchcodeserver.com for further testing.

[sschuberth]

Hmm, thanks, but is the change really live yet? http://demo.searchcodeserver.com/?q=PhysicsServer%3A%3Aget_singleton from my comment above still returns no matches...

[boyter]

It is still in the process of indexing http://demo.searchcodeserver.com/repository/list/ so likely it will turn up in a while. I should upgrade the server it is running on to speed these up. Ill notify you here when its actually done.

[sschuberth]

Ah, sorry for not looking at the indexing status myself. Thanks!

[sschuberth]

But wait, is seems https://github.com/godotengine/godot/ is gone from the list?

[boyter]

Yes it is for the moment. I will be adding it back soonish.

http://demo.searchcodeserver.com/?q=PhysicsServer%3A%3Aget_singleton

appears to work as expected now.

http://demo.searchcodeserver.com/?q=std%3A%3Astring

also appears to be as expected.

[sschuberth]

Indeed, great, thanks!
