• Ask HN: Hosted Tools at Work

  At work I host a couple of internal tools for myself and my coworkers that I expose with a web UI. Most of them are useful productivity tools. My favorite: - Hound for indexing and searching internal repos with RegEx https://github.com/hound-search/hound. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Show HN: Sourcebot, an open-source Sourcegraph alternative

  Another solid code search tool https://github.com/hound-search/hound. Based on regexp. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Sourcegraph Went Dark

  For code search, I've heard Hound is pretty good but I haven't personally tried it yet. The UI is a bit clunky though. I'm wondering if one can port the old Apache-licensed Sourcegraph UI? https://github.com/hound-search/hound. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Tantivy – full-text search engine library inspired by Apache Lucene

  Another resource is a trigram search index (in Go) used by etsy/hound[0] based on an article (and code) from Russ Cox: Regular Expression Matching with a Trigram Index[1]. [0] https://github.com/hound-search/hound Different use-cases for alternatives to Lucene depending on your needs. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Code Search at Google: The Story of Han-Wen and Zoekt

  The same algorithm is also used in Hound (https://github.com/hound-search/hound You really should check it out if you haven't already. It's incredibly useful; I used it all the time. Not open source though. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• DockerHub replacement stratagy and options

  Agreed, I already have Hound setup to search across all the different repos I pull from (bitbucket, gh, gitlab, gitea etc) but now I need to find a docker equivalent. Source: about 2 years ago

• Gitlab to lay off 7% of staff

  I know you're looking for first-party tools that is part of the whole package, but hound does this fantastically and is extremely easy to setup, and is ridiculously fast. Source: over 2 years ago

• Regular Expression Matching with a Trigram Index

  Hound is an excellent implementation of this for code search: https://github.com/hound-search/hound. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Doctree

  If the docs are generated from comments in the code a simple ripgrep search of the source (with fzf or other integration) will find things just as well too. Hound is a nice little web UI that does this: https://github.com/hound-search/hound. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you search large code-base before adding a feature or fixing bug?

  Especially if this is long term, this is a great tool: https://github.com/hound-search/hound#hound It would be great if someone integrated this with tree-sitter plus something to make the search semantics a bit smarter about usages of X: https://www.etsy.com/codeascraft/announcing-hound-a-lightning-fast-code-search-tool/ Screenshots: https://jaxenter.com/hound-go-react-code-search-engine-150086.html Another trick... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you search large code-base before adding a feature or fixing bug?

  I reach for Hound-search[0] (originally Etsy Houndd) that uses Russ Cox's "Regular Expression Matching with a Trigram Index" I had even made self-serve hosting for it but didn't put much effort into monetizing or otherwise promoting it.

• Ask HN: How do you search large code-base before adding a feature or fixing bug?

  At Oracle (keep in mind every org is very different) I wrote a crappy script to grab all repos in my org and hook them up to Etsy Hound [0]. But I couldn't stick with it long enough for it to be useful. It's surprising to me how much effort is not being put into whole-org code search. Most projects focus solely on single-repo search. If you need to make breaking changes or find examples and you don't even know... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Parcel CSS: A new CSS parser, compiler, and minifier

  Nice too that it's a compiled language, so you get the end tool in a nice static binary. As a non-Node dev, I hate the experience of hacking on some project and having to install a giant pool of NPM stuff just run some minifier or linter. Hound is an example of this— the guts of the project are golang, but it has a frontend that uses webpack, jest, etc: https://github.com/hound-search/hound Which is fine, I guess;... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Grep.app: search across a half million Git repos

  The title does not give this enough credit. I was incredibly impressed by its speed(I'm used to Hound[1] at work) it felt almost instant. [1]: https://github.com/hound-search/hound. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
