About This Audiobook
Most code search tools are black boxes. This guide opens the box. You'll build a working code retrieval system from scratch, implementing chunking strategies that respect code structure, choosing and fine-tuning embedding models, building a BM25 lexical index, fusing results with Reciprocal Rank Fusion, and boosting retrieval quality with AST-based graph signals. Every technique includes runnable Python code.
