Module QueryIndex 

QueryIndex

File: Indexing/Store/QueryIndex.rs

Role in Air Architecture

Provides index query functionality for the File Indexer service, handling search operations across indexed files with multiple search modes.

Primary Responsibility

Query the file index to find symbols and content matching search criteria, supporting literal, regex, fuzzy, and exact search modes.

Secondary Responsibilities

• Multi-mode search (literal, regex, fuzzy, exact)
• Case sensitivity and whole word matching
• Path and language filtering
• Result pagination and ranking
• Search query sanitization

Dependencies

External Crates:

• regex - Regular expression search patterns
• tokio - Async file I/O operations

Internal Modules:

• crate::Result - Error handling type
• crate::AirError - Error types
• super::super::FileIndex - Index structure definitions

Dependents

• Indexing::mod::FileIndexer - Main file indexer implementation

VSCode Pattern Reference

Inspired by VSCode’s search functionality in src/vs/workbench/services/search/common/

Security Considerations

• Search query sanitization prevents injection
• Query length limits
• Control character filtering

Performance Considerations

• Content index for fast token lookup
• Result pagination to limit memory usage
• Efficient string matching algorithms
• Fuzzy search with configurable distance

Error Handling Strategy

Query operations return detailed error messages for invalid queries or search failures, treating individual file read errors as warnings.

Thread Safety

Query operations read from shared Arc<RwLock<>> state and return safe-ownership results for the caller.
