Search Strategies

Find Files

fd "*.ts" src/
fd -e py -e js  # Multiple extensions
fd -t f -t d    # Files and directories

Find Code Patterns

rg "function.*User"          # Regex search
rg -A 3 "TODO"              # Show 3 lines after
rg -i "password" --type ts  # Case-insensitive

Find by Symbol

# Find all imports of React
rg "^import.*from ['\"]react['\"]"

rg "^class \w+"

# Find all API endpoints
rg "@(Get|Post|Put|Delete)\("
