alt Hacker NewsInteresting idea but its very strong path-dependence makes me wary on its general use and reliability. E.g. on project's own codebase querying "extract exports" will've expected to get `src/dependency-graph.ts`, which has an `extractExports` function, 1st rather 7th. (Though in out of ~30 total files, that means gives expected result in top 25%.) Trying to search anything on chromium repo (just "git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium", no deps/submodules; only ~44k paths in `git ls-files`) returns "Error: Scanner failed to produce scored files. This is a bug."

I also got chrome, let me check and I'll get back to you
Thanks for the detailed bug report, both issues are fixed in v1.0.15!
Chromium timeout - Increased default to 30s (configurable via MANTIC_TIMEOUT). Now completes ~23s on 481k files.
Ranking (extract exports) - Added two-pass scoring, ultra-fast path/filename first, then lightweight regex extraction of function/class names from top 50 files.
Exact match: +200 boost Partial: +100 Result: dependency-graph.ts (with extractExports) now ranks #1.
Extras from your feedback:
Added Python (def), Rust (fn), Go (func) patterns Better camel/snake/keyword handling
New env var: MANTIC_FUNCTION_SCAN_LIMIT
Performance: +100-200ms overhead. Tested on Chromium (23s) and Cal.com (220ms).
Huge thanks—feedback like yours is gold!
