How search works

Reposeek is an evidence-first repo discovery tool. It helps you pick the repo to build on; it does not replace reading the selected repo’s docs or source. Optional filters can narrow results by stars, forks, and exact SPDX-style license when those are hard constraints; they do not replace semantic search or reranker ordering.

​
Workflow

  1. Search with a natural-language query.
  2. Inspect ranked results and the request ID.
  3. Choose the candidate that best matches your stack and constraints.
  4. Hand off to the selected repo’s README, docs, examples, and source.

​
What Reposeek returns

Each result includes:
  • rank
  • repo
  • url
  • score
  • summary
  • stars
  • forks
  • license
The response also includes top-level request_id for support/debug correlation. Timing is exposed in the Server-Timing response header.

​
What scores mean

Scores are most useful for comparing results within the same response. Do not treat a score as a universal quality guarantee across different searches, providers, or ranking versions. If results are sparse or weak, refine the query instead of forcing a pick.
