VerifiedCursor's codebase semantic search relies on vector embedding technology under the hood, converting code into high-dimensional vectors stored in a local vector database, and retrieving the most semantically similar code snippets via cosine similarity.79% similarVerifiedCursor uses an embedding model to transform the entire codebase into a searchable vector space to enable semantic search.78% similarUnverifiedCursor's Agent has switched to a local on-demand grep index for exact matching of symbols, strings, and patterns, paired with sub-agents capable of running a large number of searches in parallel.77% similarVerifiedCursor's core technology is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which provides code context by building vector indexes on local codebases.75% similarUnverifiedCursor and Anthropic are in a leading position in terms of code data.74% similar
