Title: Beyond Retrieval: A Multitask Benchmark and Model for Code Search

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.04615v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Code search has usually been evaluated as first-stage retrieval, even though production systems rely on broader pipelines with reranking and developer-style queries. Existing benchmarks also suffer from data contamination, label noise, and degenerate binary relevance. In this paper, we introduce \textsc{CoREB}, a contamination-limited, multitask \underline{co}de \underline{r}etrieval and r\underline{e}ranking \underline{b}enchmark, together with
