Cursor charges $20/mo. Copilot uploads your code. I built a free, local alternative.

1. 1Reverse-engineer existing codebase search tools to understand their functionality
2. 2Build a local codebase search using open-source tools like Ripgrep or The Silver Searcher
3. 3Configure the search tool to index and search codebases efficiently
4. 4Test the alternative with various codebases to ensure its effectiveness
5. 5Compare the performance of the open-source alternative with Cursor's codebase search

Developers and software engineers can benefit from this alternative to improve their coding efficiency and reduce costs

💡 You can create a cost-effective and efficient codebase search tool using open-source alternatives
