- The benchmark searches 40 docstring-derived lookups while stripping those docstrings from the indexed source.
Field notes
Jevgrep separates semantic behavior lookup from literal search: all-mode scores complete function snippets against the entity and operation described in a query, while exact mode passes through to ripgrep. Its example searches a repository for expired CLI-token rejection and reports coverage alongside the selected function. The benchmark uses 40 lookups derived from stripped function docstrings, with results from a single uncached development run.
