Global Project Search

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

1. 01

   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want Global Project Search working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Set up Global Project Search in this project — fuzzy search across projects, files, and folders. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

   Expected outcome

   A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

2. 02

   Finding a project by partial name

   The record lists this as one of the jobs Global Project Search is meant for, so it is a fair first test of whether it fits your app.

   In this project, use Global Project Search for finding a project by partial name. Build the smallest version that a real user could complete end to end, keep the change scoped to that path, and tell me how to test it myself.

   Expected outcome

   One complete path a user can walk, the files and settings that changed, and the steps to test it. Walk it yourself before you ship it.

3. 03

   Review it before you publish

   Global Project Search is wired in and you are about to put it in front of people. This is the pass that catches the half-configured version.

   Review how this project uses Global Project Search before I publish. Check fuzzy search and filename + content combined search, list anything that is missing, misconfigured, or only half wired, fix what is safe to fix, and tell me what you left alone and why.

   Expected outcome

   A findings list split into what was fixed and what was left, with a reason for each. Anything left alone is yours to decide on.

4. 04

   Code search across the workspace

   A second job the record lists for Global Project Search, useful once the first path works.

   Extend this project so Global Project Search also covers code search across the workspace. Reuse what is already wired rather than adding a parallel setup, and tell me what you reused and what is new.

   Expected outcome

   A second path built on the same setup, plus a note on what was shared and what was added.
