Traditional tools like grep are powerful but require you to know exactly what you are looking for. IDE search is better but limited to lexical patterns and symbol navigation. <strong>Bloop</strong> reimagines code search entirely: it is an open-source AI-powered code search engine written in Rust that lets developers query their codebases using natural language.</p> <p>Bloop combines <strong>GPT-4 powered natural language understanding</strong> with <strong>hybrid lexical and vector search</strong> to deliver results that understand developer intent, not just string patterns. A query like &ldquo;find where we handle OAuth token refresh&rdquo; returns semantically relevant code locations, not just files containing the string &ldquo;refresh.&rdquo;</p>
