For code-related RAG, BM25 and hybrid search often outperform pure vector databases. Commenters noted faster, more accurate results when combining BM25 with vector embeddings. Pure vector search can struggle with code's unique structure. #CodeSearch 2/6

As codebases and AI-generated code scale, text-based search breaks down.

RepoGrep explores semantic-aware code search — a key building block for better reviews, refactors, and AI-assisted engineering.

MM-SCS: Leveraging Multimodal Features to Enhance Smart Contract Code Search Semantic code search technology allows searching for existing code snippets through natural language, which can greatly improve programming efficiency. Smart contracts, programs that run on the blockchain, have a code reuse rate of more than 79%, which means developers have a great demand for semantic code search tools. However, the existing code search models still have a semantic gap between code and query and perform poorly on specialized queries of smart contracts. In this paper, we propose a Multi-Modal Smart contract Code Search (MM-SCS) model. Specifically, we construct a Contract Elements Dependency Graph (CEDG) for MM-SCS as an additional modality to capture the data flow and control flow information of the code. To make the model more focused on the key contextual information, we use a multi-head attention network to generate embeddings for code features. In addition, we use a fine-tuned pretrained model to ensure the model's effectiveness when the training data is small. We compared MM-SCS with four state-of-the-art models on a dataset with 470K (code, docstring) pairs collected from Github and Etherscan. Experimental results show that MM-SCS achieves an MRR (Mean Reciprocal Rank) of 0.572, outperforming four state-of-the-art models UNIF, DeepCS, CARLCS-CNN, and TAB-CS by 34.2%, 59.3%, 36.8%, and 14.1%, respectively. Additionally, the search speed of MM-SCS is second only to UNIF, reaching 0.34s/query.
