Hey so, I have been working on a specialized search engine (at least you can think of it in this way). And for me a lot of the gains came because we could structure and restrain the search space in a meaningful way, such that we could build better distance metrics than a pure text search could do.
I wonder what you think about that. Maybe one could submit a code snippet, or mark something as an error, or ask for a refactor of some code. But then again, this gets close to what copilot is doing.
- wayy 4y agoWe are absolutely experimenting with non-text inputs (and outputs as you can see). A big problem we see in mainstream search engines is that syntax is not parsed well. Understanding code as context for the query could be huge for developer search.
- lysecret 4y agoYea true, but its a fine line to something like copilot, since it also can be thought of as a search engine, however it has your whole code (and maybe your past behavior too) as its context, hard to beat.
