searching in the source browser

searching in the source browser

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

Hi, this is probably for Taco:

Is there a possibility in the source browser to search for macros 
(\something) or anything containing dots (logs.errors)?
Because neither “simple” nor with Lua patterns I get any results.

E.g. I wanted to look for all trackers and/or directives.

To get a list of trackers and directives you can use

     \showtrackers
     \showdirectives

in a document (the list appear in the log file and terminal) or you use 
the following two modules:

     context --global m-trackers.mkiv
     context --global m-directives.mkiv

Hi Hraban,

has it to be the source browser?

I mean, I use grep in Linux (MSYS2 in Windows [and brew.sh is available
for macOS]) and it works perfectly fine with ConTeXt.

  $ grep -irl fi[eë][eë] context
  context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/char-def.lua
  context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lilypond/t-lilypond.tex

Althought regular expressions are fine, I don’t know why "fi[eë]+"
doesn’t work in this case.

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

Thank you – I found

grep -R "regex" ~/context

to be most easy.

But I like the source browser with its syntax highlighting, and it’s a 
pity that the search is so limited.

Thank you!

While this was just an example for a search, I will include these in my 
book and somewhere on the wiki.

I’m not looking forward to trying all of these options to find out what 
they do (and document it, of course).

I usually use the new GitHub "Code Search". This works pretty well,
although you need a (free) account to use it:

   https://cs.github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror?q=%5Cstarttext
   
Sourcegraph should work pretty much the same way. I don't usually use
it, but it has the advantage of not requiring an account:

   https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+repo:%5Egithub%5C.com/contextgarden/context-mirror%24+%5Cstarttext&patternType=standard
   
Both of these have syntax highlighting and work with literal strings or
regexes.

That is something we can look at next week. 

The sourcebrowser is using an lpeg-based lua script to create its search index, meaning
it is not impossible to extend it. :)

Best wishes,
