semantic search
Searching by meaning rather than by exact characters, so a query about 'login' can find code that only ever says 'authenticate'.
Where it comes up
Refactoring Legacy Codebases
“matter. In fact, for larger repositories, cursor gives the agent really powerful tools that allow it to go search through the codebase and find the relevant bits of code. So if you scroll up here, you see explored a directory. So it's readi…”
PRD to PR
“or Matt, before I swap back to the the slide deck here? Nope. Okay. So, cool. Yeah, just a couple last-minute slides. Um So, there's a couple things here, just kind of cursor as a whole. So, you saw kind of like how fast we were able to out…”
Cursor for Financial Services
“product primitives for every single use case so that you're able to use cursor across the entire life cycle and very much polishing those handoffs. So being able to use things like bugbot for example for coderview and things like CLI comman…”

“Cursor, it will index your files in the background and generate embeddings, which are all hashed and stored like your raw code is not stored on Cursor servers, but um the the hashes of these embeddings are and we can quickly uh do a semanti…”
Cursor for Java Developers
“And just like that um cursor goes ahead and read through some files. Um it's going to give me an overview overview of the project. It's reading through a bunch of files. It uses GP and what we touch upon which is semantic search. You can se…”
Cursor 101
“let's make sure we want the whole thing. We want it to give us the whole shape. Cool. So, it's still moving. Great. So, um here where it says explored and exploring, this is another really powerful thing in Cursor. Um so, it's using somethi…”
Cursor 201
“like it knows that there are specific files that are related to like the sample sample data loading. So, it's going to do some of that semantic search to figure out like what are the most relevant pieces of the code base, and then those are…”
Cursor 201
“Um cursor kind of specifically as a product uses something called semantic search, Um, is uh, we're able to do by um, indexing all the files in your workspace um, and then uh, embedding them into a vector store. Um, and then when you run a…”
Cursor for Data Science
“harness that's optimized for every model and works well with real kind of live workflows. And you'll see that today really throughout the demo because this is where we're going to focus most of our time. But under the hood, what's powering…”
Cursor for Quality Assurance
“around for 10 years with a lot of files, you know, potentially gigabytes of files. Cursor works really well within code bases to understand the underlying architecture and to pull in relevant information using semantic search and uh efficie…”
How Cursor uses Cursor
“going to be included in the context window each time, giving you some token savings. And then, the Cursor indexing mechanism behind the scenes is allowing the agent to perform semantic search and pull in the most relevant files and lines of…”
