A tiny project search menu for LazyVim / Neovim.

Turn repeated searches like queryKey, className, hooks/use-*, or service/*.ts into reusable project presets.

Press one key, pick a search, done.

中文文档

Most projects have a few searches you run again and again.

For example, in a React project you may often search for:

• queryKey
• className
• custom hooks
• route definitions
• service layer files
• TODO / FIXME
• environment variable usage

This plugin lets you save those searches as project-local presets and open them from one fast picker.

Rules are stored outside your source repository:

~/.local/share/nvim/project-search/rules/

So your project stays clean.

Create:

~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/lazy-project-search.lua

return {
  {
    "CoderLambert/lazy-project-search.nvim",
    main = "project_search",
    dependencies = {
      "folke/snacks.nvim",
    },
    cmd = {
      "ProjectSearch",
    },
    keys = {
      {
        "<C-p>",
        "<cmd>ProjectSearch<cr>",
        desc = "Project Search",
      },
    },
    opts = {
      keymap = false,
    },
  },
}

Then run:

:Lazy sync

LazyVim users should enable Snacks Picker:

:LazyExtras

Enable:

editor.snacks_picker

Install ripgrep and fd.

Ubuntu / Linux Mint:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y ripgrep fd-find

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
ln -sf "$(command -v fdfind)" ~/.local/bin/fd

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S ripgrep fd

macOS:

brew install ripgrep fd

Open a project and run:

:ProjectSearch

Or press:

<C-p>

On first use, the plugin creates a rules file for the current project.

Edit that JSON file, save it, then open :ProjectSearch again.

:ProjectSearch
:ProjectSearch edit
:ProjectSearch validate
:ProjectSearch reload
:ProjectSearch reset
:ProjectSearch path
:ProjectSearch health

Search queryKey in React files:

{
  "id": "react.query_key",
  "name": "React: queryKey",
  "type": "grep",
  "search": "queryKey",
  "dirs": ["src", "app"],
  "glob": ["*.ts", "*.tsx"]
}

Find hook files like hooks/use-user-panel.ts:

{
  "id": "react.hooks",
  "name": "Hooks: use-* files",
  "type": "files_regex",
  "regex": "(^|/)hooks/use-[a-z0-9-]+\\.(ts|tsx|js|jsx)$",
  "dirs": ["src", "app", "packages"]
}

Open files under src:

{
  "id": "files.src",
  "name": "Files: src",
  "type": "files",
  "cwd": "src"
}

Run:

:ProjectSearch health

Or:

:checkhealth project_search

Common checks:

• Advanced configuration
• Formatting
• Validation and tests
• Changelog

Usable for daily LazyVim / Neovim workflows.

The rule format may still change before v1.0.0.
