SeaGOAT is a local-first semantic code search engine that uses vector embeddings to let developers search their codebase with natural language queries. It runs as a local server with a grep-like CLI, supports regex queries, and integrates with ripgrep and bat for result display.
Use cases
- search my codebase semantically with natural language
- find where numbers are rounded in a large repo
- grep alternative that understands meaning not just text
- locally search code with embeddings without sending code to cloud
- combine regex and semantic queries over a repository
When to choose
- you want semantic code search that runs entirely locally
- you prefer a CLI workflow over IDE plugins
- your codebase is too large to navigate with plain grep
When to avoid
- you need polished Windows support
- you want a hosted or team-shared search service
- you need an IDE-integrated search experience
