PHPStorm's indexing is incredible. Aside from a scant few times it's been corrupted, which is easily corrected, I've never gotten stale results.

Although if you've ever used Claude's search tool, you'll be unsurprised that the team knows nothing about indexing.

How a company, whose primary product is text-based chat, doesn't allow users to easily perform text search on said chat is beyond comprehension.

And Claude Code can use Jetbrain's MCP to use that index.

It's an odd statement. AI slop? GitHub Copilot has pretty good local indexing too. It's not a super hard problem to put code into a vector DB..
