266-301: Case-sensitive full‑text search is currently broken (index is lower‑cased only)Indexing always lower‑cases terms (Line 545), but searchFullText honors
caseSensitive=trueand tokenizes without lower‑casing. Result: lookups miss the lower‑cased index, returning no matches. Fix by querying the index case‑insensitively and then (optionally) applying a case‑sensitive post‑filter.Apply:
- async searchFullText(text: string, caseSensitive: boolean = false): Promise<Note[]> { + async searchFullText(text: string, caseSensitive: boolean = false): Promise<Note[]> { if (!text || text.trim().length === 0) { return []; } - // Tokenize search text - const terms = this.tokenize(text, caseSensitive); + // Tokenize search text for index lookup (always case-insensitive; index is lower-cased) + const terms = this.tokenize(text, false); if (terms.length === 0) { return []; } @@ - const notes = Array.from(matchingNoteIds || []) + let notes = Array.from(matchingNoteIds || []) .map(id => this.dateIndex.get(id)) .filter(note => note !== undefined) as Note[]; - return notes; + // Optional case-sensitive post-filter against original content + if (caseSensitive) { + const phrase = text; + if (phrase.trim().length > 0) { + notes = notes.filter(n => n.content.includes(phrase)); + } + } + return notes; }Also applies to: 541-556

431-437: Update description to clarify feature availability across versions for v0.3.0 releaseThe v0.3.0 changelog confirms that date and author sorting are being added as part of the "Search and Filter Notes" feature in v0.3.0. The current description lists "Sort notes by: file path, date, or author (file path only in v0.2.0)" which is ambiguous—it mentions supported sort types but only documents v0.2.0 limitations.
Since release documentation targets v0.3.0 and the feature set (date/author sorting) aligns with v0.3.0 additions, update the description to clarify: either "(file path in v0.2.0, all options available in v0.3.0)" or similar language that explicitly indicates when date and author sorting become available.

docs/search-and-filter-notes/USER_STORY.md, but its status remains "⏳ IN PROGRESS (83% done)" with all MVP acceptance criteria unmarked[ ]. Per coding guidelines, the user story should be updated once the task is completed.Per ARCHITECTURE.md v0.3.0, all MVP requirements are implemented: full-text search, regex patterns, author/date/file filters, filter combinations, keyboard shortcuts, sidebar integration, and search history. Update the user story file to:
- Change status from "⏳ IN PROGRESS" to "✅ COMPLETE"
- Mark all MVP acceptance criteria items as

src/test/runUnitTests.ts (1)
38-40: Comment-only change is fine; consider documenting inclusion ruleThe note about searchManager.test.js being integration is helpful. If the list of included unit tests grows, consider externalizing the filter into a small helper or env flag to avoid hardcoding basenames.

98-98: Gate verbose logging behind a setting or log levelConsole logs are valuable during dev but noisy in production. Add a simple flag (e.g.,
codeContextNotes.search.debug) or use a VS Code OutputChannel.Example:
- console.log(`[SearchManager] Building search index for ${notes.length} notes...`); + if (vscode.workspace.getConfiguration('codeContextNotes.search').get('debug', false)) { + console.log(`[SearchManager] Building search index for ${notes.length} notes...`); + }Repeat for performance and cache logs.

484-502: Timing‑based cache assertion is flaky
duration2 <= duration1can intermittently fail on fast machines. Prefer verifying a cache hit via observable behavior (e.g., expose a metric, or stub Date.now), or just assert identical results as in the previous test.- // Cached query should be faster - assert.ok(duration2 <= duration1); + // Cached query should return identical results (timing not asserted to avoid flakiness) + assert.strictEqual(results2.length, 1);package.json (1)
277-290: Consider adding onCommand activation for defensive future-proofingThe
codeContextNotes.searchNotescommand is properly registered and will be activated implicitly by VS Code 1.80+ when invoked. However, since the extension currently relies solely ononStartupFinishedactivation, adding"onCommand:codeContextNotes.searchNotes"toactivationEventswould be good defensive programming—it ensures the command remains functional even if the startup activation strategy changes in the future.This is optional but recommended as a resilience measure.
src/extension.ts (1)
120-150: Consider extracting hardcoded constants and adding cancellation support.The background indexing implementation is solid, but could benefit from:
Magic numbers: The delay (1000ms), large index threshold (100 notes), and notification timeout (500ms) are hardcoded. Consider extracting these as named constants at the module level for maintainability.
No cancellation mechanism: If the extension deactivates or workspace closes during the 1-second delay or while building the index, the setTimeout will still execute. Consider storing the timeout ID and clearing it in
deactivate(), or checking if managers are still valid before building.Example refactor:
+// Constants for search index initialization +const INDEX_BUILD_DELAY = 1000; // ms - delay to avoid blocking activation +const LARGE_INDEX_THRESHOLD = 100; // notes +const INDEX_READY_NOTIFICATION_DELAY = 500; // ms + let noteManager: NoteManager; let commentController: CommentController; let codeLensProvider: CodeNotesLensProvider; let sidebarProvider: NotesSidebarProvider; let searchManager: SearchManager; +let indexBuildTimer: NodeJS.Timeout | undefined;Then update the setTimeout:
// Build search index in background with progress notification console.log('Code Context Notes: Building search index...'); -setTimeout(async () => { +indexBuildTimer = setTimeout(async () => { try { // Show progress for large workspaces await vscode.window.withProgress({ // ... existing code ... - if (allNotes.length > 100) { + if (allNotes.length > LARGE_INDEX_THRESHOLD) { setTimeout(() => { vscode.window.showInformationMessage(`Code Context Notes: Search index ready with ${allNotes.length} notes`); - }, 500); + }, INDEX_READY_NOTIFICATION_DELAY); } }); } catch (error) { console.error('Code Context Notes: Failed to build search index:', error); vscode.window.showErrorMessage(`Code Context Notes: Failed to build search index: ${error}`); + } finally { + indexBuildTimer = undefined; } -}, 1000); +}, INDEX_BUILD_DELAY);And in
deactivate():export function deactivate() { console.log('Code Context Notes extension is deactivating...'); + // Cancel pending index build + if (indexBuildTimer) { + clearTimeout(indexBuildTimer); + indexBuildTimer = undefined; + } + // Clear all debounce timers for (const timer of documentChangeTimers.values()) {

SearchUIinstance is created on every command invocation rather than reusing a cached instance. This is likely intentional to ensure fresh state and proper cleanup, but worth confirming.If the fresh instance pattern is intentional (which seems reasonable for search UI), this is fine as-is. Otherwise, consider caching the SearchUI instance similar to other UI components.

Keybinding conflict with VS Code Search confirmed—fix required
The conflict is real. VS Code's default Search command uses Ctrl+Shift+F, and the extension currently shadows this with identical keybinding. The current when clause (!searchViewletFocus && !replaceInputBoxFocus) is insufficient because it still allows the command to trigger when the editor has focus, intercepting the expected Search behavior.
The suggested when clause includes editorTextFocus, which perpetuates the problem. Two better approaches:
- Change the keybinding to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F (as suggested in the diff) to avoid conflict entirely, OR
- Strictly scope to sidebar by using
when: "view == codeContextNotes.sidebarView"only (remove|| editorTextFocus)
The view reference codeContextNotes.sidebarView is valid and properly registered, so either approach is technically feasible.

conflicts with VS Code's global Search; update the entry to avoid intercepting
Search by either (A) changing the key to "ctrl+alt+shift+f" (and keep the
current when clause) or (B) scope it strictly to the sidebar by replacing the
when clause with "view == codeContextNotes.sidebarView" (removing
editorTextFocus/other broad conditions); pick one approach and apply it
consistently so the extension no longer shadows the built-in Search shortcut.

🧩 Analysis chain
Config surface added; wire it through code paths
fuzzyMatching, caseSensitive, maxResults, debounceDelay, saveHistory, historySize are not consistently used by SearchUI/SearchManager (e.g., debounceDelay hardcoded, maxResults hardcoded to 100). After wiring, consider marking “fuzzy matching” as “experimental” or remove until implemented to avoid user confusion.

Wire config settings into SearchUI/SearchManager; implement or remove unimplemented settings
Config surface defined (package.json lines 438-473) is not wired through code:
maxResultshardcoded to 100 at searchUI.ts:196 and searchManager.ts:235debounceDelayhardcoded to 200ms at searchUI.ts:41caseSensitiveimplemented but derived from UI filters only, not configfuzzyMatching,saveHistory,historySizeare unimplemented—either implement or remove to prevent user confusion
SearchUI and SearchManager do not call getConfiguration() to read these settings. Either wire the config values or remove the unused config definitions from package.json.

Stop‑word handling and docs consistency
- With case‑sensitive queries, stop‑word filtering still checks lower‑case words only; that’s fine given the index is lower‑cased, but clarify this in docs or normalize stop‑word checks to lower‑case explicitly for readability.
- Docs/changelog mention “48” stop words; this set contains 50. Update docs or adjust the set.
- .filter(token => !this.STOP_WORDS.has(token)); // Skip stop words for better performance
+ .filter(token => !this.STOP_WORDS.has(token.toLowerCase())); // Skip stop words consistentlyAlso applies to: 79-86
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In src/searchManager.ts around lines 552-554 (also applies to lines 79-86), the
stop-word filtering is implicitly assuming lower-cased index terms but compares
tokens directly to STOP_WORDS; explicitly normalize tokens to lower-case before
checking STOP_WORDS (e.g., compute tokenLower = token.toLowerCase() and use that
for the STOP_WORDS.has check) and keep the single-char filter on the original
token as needed; also reconcile the documented stop-word count (update
docs/changelog to state 50 stop words or remove two words from the STOP_WORDS
set to match “48”) so the code and documentation remain consistent.

History click restores label text, not the underlying query/filters
Clicking a history entry sets the input to a human label, losing regex, authors, dates, etc. Carry the SearchHistoryEntry and reapply its query.
Apply:
interface SearchQuickPickItem extends vscode.QuickPickItem {
note?: Note;
result?: SearchResult;
type: 'result' | 'filter' | 'action' | 'separator';
- action?: 'clearFilters' | 'showHistory' | 'advancedSearch';
+ action?: 'clearFilters' | 'showHistory' | 'advancedSearch' | 'runHistory';
+ history?: import('./searchTypes').SearchHistoryEntry;
}

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In src/searchUI.ts around lines 351-359 (also apply same change to 484-499), the
history item action currently only restores the human label text and loses the
original query/filters; include the full SearchHistoryEntry in the action
payload when building the items (e.g., add a property carrying the entry object)
and update the handler for the 'showHistory' action so it re-applies the stored
entry's query, regex flag, filters (authors, dates, etc.) and any other internal
state while optionally setting the visible input to the human label; this
ensures clicking history restores the actual search parameters rather than just
the label.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In src/searchUI.ts around lines 560 to 577 (and also apply same fix to 596-603),
the code accepts user-entered start/end strings and constructs Date objects
without validating them; update the flow to parse and validate the dates after
construction (e.g., check isNaN(date.getTime()) or equivalent), show a clear
vscode.window.showErrorMessage and abort or re-prompt when either date is
invalid, enforce that start <= end (swap or error if not), and only proceed to
use the dates for labels/filters when both are valid; mirror the same validation
and error handling for the other occurrence at 596-603.

🧩 Analysis chain
This case‑sensitive test will fail with current implementation
Given the index is lower‑cased, searchFullText('JavaScript', true) returns no results. After fixing searchFullText as suggested, this should pass. If you prefer not to add post‑filtering, change the test to use search({ text: 'JavaScript', caseSensitive: true }, notes) and validate via findMatches.
I'll verify this review comment by examining the searchManager implementation and understanding how the case-sensitive search currently works.

The case-sensitive test will fail—index is always built with lowercase terms
The issue is confirmed. During indexing, all content is tokenized with caseSensitive: false (line 457), so the index contains only lowercase terms. When searchFullText('JavaScript', true) is called, it tokenizes with caseSensitive: true, producing ['JavaScript'] instead of ['javascript']. This term doesn't exist in the index, returning zero results when one is expected.
To fix: Either add post-filtering in searchFullText to test case-sensitivity against original note content after index lookup, or update the test to use the search() method with findMatches() validation instead.
