Indexing

Qoder IDE automatically indexes your codebase by generating file embeddings when you open a project. This enables AI-powered code understanding, intelligent recommendations, and semantic search. Indexing happens incrementally, so new or modified files are processed in real time—no manual intervention required.

​

Configure indexing

1. In the upper-right corner of your Qoder IDE, click the user icon or use the keyboard shortcut (⌘ ⇧ , （macOS）orCtrl shift ,(Windows)), and select Qoder IDE Settings.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Indexing.
3. Choose one of the following:

• To manually enable indexing, click Create next to Codebase Indexing.
• To enable continuous background indexing, toggle on Automatic Indexing.

Note: Codebase indexing supports codebases up to 100,000 files. Automatic indexing is enabled by default for codebases with fewer than 10,000 files. For larger codebases, indexing need to be enabled manually.

​

Ignore files

By default, Qoder IDE indexes all project files except:

• Files and directories specified in .gitignore
• Files listed in .qoderignore

​

Specify custom ignore files

You can define additional files or directories to exclude from indexing.

1. In the upper-right corner of the Qoder IDE, click the user icon or use the keyboard shortcut (⌘ ⇧ , （macOS）orCtrl shift ,(Windows)), and select Qoder IDE Settings.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Indexing.
3. Click Manage next to Ignore Files.
4. Add your custom patterns.

Pattern examples To check if a specific file is ignored, use the following command: git check-ignore -v [file]

FAQs

​

Where can I view indexed codebases?

A centralized index list is not currently available. You can inspect indexed codebases within the indexing settings of each project.

​

Is my source code stored on Qoder IDE servers?

No. Qoder IDE does not store your source code.
