## Implementation
Intelligent package search with typo handling, synonyms, and natural language queries.
### Features
- Fuzzy string matching (handles typos)
- Synonym detection (postgres → postgresql)
- Natural language queries ("web server" finds nginx)
- Ranked results by relevance
- Search suggestions ("Did you mean?")
- Category filtering
- Search history tracking
- 50/50 tests passing, >80% coverage
### Files
- smart_search.py: Core search engine (~600 lines)
- test_smart_search.py: Comprehensive tests (~800 lines, 50 tests)
- cortex_search_cli.py: CLI interface (~150 lines)
### Usage
```bash
cortex search "ngnix" # Typo → suggests nginx
cortex search "web server" # Natural language
cortex search "server" --category web_server
cortex search-history # View past searches
```
Closes cortexlinux#117

cortex_search_cli.py (2)
23-141: Consider splittingmain()and narrowing the broadExceptioncatch
main()currently handles parsing, search, history listing, and error reporting in one function and uses a broadexcept Exceptionblock. To reduce cognitive complexity (and align with Sonar) and improve error clarity, consider:
- Extracting
handle_search(args, search)andhandle_history(args, search)helpers.- Catching only expected exception types (e.g., I/O or JSON issues from history) and letting truly unexpected errors propagate or be logged with more detail.
This keeps the CLI logic easier to test and maintain while still giving friendly errors to users.
2-10: Align usage/help text with actual subcommandsThe docstring and help epilog show
cortex search ...andcortex search-history, while the parser definessearchandhistorysubcommands withprog='cortex search'. Depending on how this script is integrated with the maincortexCLI, it may be clearer to:
- Show the concrete invocation for this script (e.g.,
cortex-search search ...), or- Mirror the final intended UX of the main CLI and adjust subcommand names / examples accordingly.
This is purely a docs/UX polish item; the runtime behavior is fine.

95-152: Tidy up unused unpacked variables to satisfy Ruff/SonarSeveral tests unpack values that are then unused (e.g.,
results, suggestions = ...wheresuggestionsis unused, andscore, matched = resultwherematchedis unused). To address the Ruff/Sonar warnings without changing behavior, consider:
- Renaming unused variables to
_or_suggestions:- results, suggestions = self.search.search("nginx") + results, _ = self.search.search("nginx") - score, matched = result + score, _ = resultApply the same pattern in other tests where
suggestionsormatchedis not used.Also applies to: 283-321
smart_search.py (2)
586-672: Reducesearch()complexity by extracting package scoring logic
SmartPackageSearch.search()currently mixes control flow (category selection, looping) with the detailed scoring logic (exact/synonym/fuzzy/keyword) and history integration, which pushes its cognitive complexity above typical thresholds and makes future changes harder.A small refactor that keeps behavior identical but simplifies the function would help, e.g.:
- Extract a
_score_package(query, package) -> Optional[SearchResult]helper that encapsulates the exact/synonym/fuzzy/keyword checks and score thresholds.- Let
search()focus on:
- Normalization and package selection,
- Calling
_score_packagein the loop,- Ranking, limiting, suggestions, and history update.
This should satisfy Sonar’s complexity warning and make it easier to tweak scoring weights or matching strategy later without touching the orchestration code.
72-368: Optional: populate remaining categories or adjust docs to reflect current catalog
PackageCategoryincludesMEDIA,SYSTEM, andCLOUD, and the CLI help lists these categories, but_build_package_database()currently doesn’t define anyPackageInfoentries in those categories. Searches scoped to those categories will always return empty results.If these categories are intended for near‑term use, consider adding a small representative set of packages for each; otherwise, you might trim the help text or leave a brief comment noting that they’re reserved for future expansion so users aren’t surprised by consistently empty results.

Harden _load_history against unexpected but JSON‑valid shapes
_load_history assumes the JSON is a list of dicts and catches json.JSONDecodeError and KeyError. If a user or external tool writes syntactically valid but structurally invalid JSON (e.g., a list of strings), SearchHistoryEntry(**entry) will raise TypeError, which will escape and can crash the CLI during SmartPackageSearch() initialization.
To keep history handling robust and side‑effect‑free for users, consider:
- Extending the exception handling to include
TypeError(and possiblyValueError), and - Optionally validating that
datais a list of mappings before constructingSearchHistoryEntryobjects.
Example:
- try:
- with open(self.history_file, 'r') as f:
- data = json.load(f)
- return [SearchHistoryEntry(**entry) for entry in data]
- except (json.JSONDecodeError, KeyError):
- return []
+ try:
+ with open(self.history_file, 'r') as f:
+ data = json.load(f)
+ if not isinstance(data, list):
+ return []
+ return [
+ SearchHistoryEntry(**entry)
+ for entry in data
+ if isinstance(entry, dict)
+ ]
+ except (json.JSONDecodeError, KeyError, TypeError, ValueError):
+ return []This keeps malformed history files from breaking the CLI while still accepting well‑formed ones.
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In smart_search.py around lines 421 to 440, the _load_history method currently
only catches json.JSONDecodeError and KeyError and assumes the loaded JSON is a
list of dicts; this can raise TypeError (or ValueError) for JSON-valid but
structurally invalid shapes (e.g., list of strings) and crash initialization.
Update the method to (1) validate that the top-level data is a list and each
item is a mapping/dict before calling SearchHistoryEntry(**entry), and (2)
extend the except clause to also catch TypeError and ValueError and return an
empty list on such errors so malformed but syntactically valid history files do
not crash the CLI.

The IOError exception handling silently suppresses all file write errors. This could lead to data loss without user notification. Consider logging the error or notifying the user when history cannot be saved, especially for permission or disk space issues.

The fuzzy match score is multiplied by 0.7 to reduce its weight, but this means even an exact match through fuzzy matching would only score 0.7 instead of 1.0. This could cause exact matches to be ranked lower than partial keyword matches. Consider adjusting the scoring logic to preserve perfect scores for exact fuzzy matches while still penalizing poor matches.

[nitpick] The test test_keyword_coverage requires packages to have at least 3 keywords but this requirement is arbitrary and not documented in the package data structure. This test could fail unnecessarily if a package legitimately only needs 1-2 keywords. Consider either documenting this requirement in the PackageInfo class or making the test more flexible.

The standalone CLI (cortex_search_cli.py) is not integrated into the main Cortex CLI (cortex/cli.py). According to the PR description, integration code should be added to enable users to run cortex search commands. Consider adding the search command to the main CLI's subparsers and routing it to the SmartPackageSearch functionality, similar to how other commands like 'install' and 'history' are handled.

The history file path from user input is used directly without validation. If a malicious user provides a path like /etc/passwd or uses path traversal (e.g., ../../sensitive_file), the code could overwrite sensitive files. Although this is a local CLI tool, it's best practice to validate that the history_file path is within expected directories or sanitize the path to prevent accidental file overwrites.

The CLI uses subparsers.add_parser('search', ...) but the main parser is configured with prog='cortex search'. This creates inconsistent command invocation - users would need to type cortex search search "query" instead of the expected cortex search "query". The standalone CLI should either be invoked as a separate script or properly integrated into the main Cortex CLI as a subcommand.

The synonym "postgress" is intentionally included to handle a common typo, but this is a problematic approach. Including typos as synonyms defeats the purpose of fuzzy matching and makes the synonym list harder to maintain. The fuzzy matching algorithm should handle "postgress" → "postgresql" automatically. Consider removing typo synonyms and relying on the fuzzy matching algorithm instead.
