Search

Text and symbol search over the indexed graph.

`text-search <query>`

Substring search by default; opt into regex with --regex.

lexa text-search "render"
lexa text-search "handle_request" --scope
lexa text-search --regex "render[A-Z]\\w+"
lexa text-search "useEffect" --path-glob "**/*.{ts,tsx}"
lexa text-search "TODO" --compact --paths-only

Flag	Description
`-m, --max <N>`	Cap the number of results (default: 20).
`-r, --regex`	Treat `<query>` as a regular expression.
`--scope`	Include the enclosing symbol range for each hit.
`-c, --compact`	Print compact one-line results.
`--paths-only`	Print only file paths.
`--path-glob`	Restrict to a glob.

The default result format is path:line: text. With --scope the format becomes path:line: text [kind name:line_start-line_end].

`symbol-defs <name>`

Exact symbol definitions.

lexa symbol-defs Engine
lexa symbol-defs createProjectAgent

`symbol-search <query>`

Fuzzy symbol discovery when symbol-defs is too strict. Use this when you only remember part of a name (createAgent → createProjectAgent).

lexa symbol-search createAgent
lexa symbol-search termnl --max 10

Flag	Description
`-m, --max <N>`	Cap the number of results (default: 20).

`word-refs <word>`

Find exact identifier occurrences including declarations and definitions. Useful for "where is this symbol used or defined?".

lexa word-refs Engine

`callers <name>`

Find non-definition call sites and usages. Narrower than word-refs — skips declaration-like occurrences such as type aliases.

lexa callers createProjectAgent
lexa callers handle_request --max 50

Flag	Description
`-m, --max <N>`	Cap the number of results (default: 20).
