search_code
Search for text or code patterns within file contents using regular expressions, file filtering, and context lines. Ideal for cybersecurity tasks, it supports absolute paths and customizable timeouts for efficient results.
Instructions
Search for text/code patterns within file contents using ripgrep. Use this instead of 'execute_command' with grep/find for searching code content. Fast and powerful search similar to VS Code search functionality. Supports regular expressions, file pattern filtering, and context lines. Has a default timeout of 30 seconds which can be customized. Only searches within allowed directories. IMPORTANT: Always use absolute paths (starting with '/' or drive letter like 'C:') for reliability. Relative paths may fail as they depend on the current working directory. Tilde paths (~/...) might not work in all contexts. Unless the user explicitly asks for relative paths, use absolute paths.
