# Search Tool Example The `search` tool allows you to quickly find symbols across your entire codebase by name or pattern. ## Example: Finding a Function **Query:** `createServer` **Command:** ``` mcp__symbols__search({ query: "createServer" }) ``` **Output:** ``` Found 1 matches for query "createServer" across 1 files src/main/createServer.ts (1 results) @8:1 Function - createServer `export function createServer(createContext: () => LspContext): McpServer { const server = new...` ``` ## Key Benefits - **Instant Symbol Discovery**: Find functions, classes, interfaces by name across the entire workspace - **Type-Aware**: Shows symbol types (Function, Class, Interface, etc.) - **Location Context**: Precise file paths and line numbers for navigation - **Code Preview**: Brief snippet showing the symbol declaration - **Multi-file Results**: Searches across all files in the workspace simultaneously ## Use Cases - Finding where a specific function is defined - Locating all classes with a certain name pattern - Discovering available APIs in a large codebase - Quick navigation to symbol definitions - Code exploration and discovery
