ML.ai CodeFiles & Editor
File browser and search
Browse and text-search modes in the file panel, and why there is no symbol search.
Two modes
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Browse | Walk the file tree, peek at a file, open it in the editor |
| Text | Ripgrep-backed content search across the workspace; jump straight to a result |
No symbol search
There is no symbol-search tab, and this is deliberate rather than an oversight.
The engine's symbol-search handler unconditionally returns an empty array. Surfacing a symbol-search tab anyway would make the UI claim "this project has no symbols" every time (a false statement about the project), rather than the true statement, which is "this build doesn't have this feature yet." Leaving the tab out avoids making a claim about your code that isn't true.
For symbol-level navigation, use your editor's own "Go to Symbol" or "Find All References": those run through your language server, not through ML.ai.
