Currently, the file search and text search operations in the code (e.g., in SearchTextOperation._search_text) are performed sequentially. For large repositories or when searching across many files, this can lead to significant performance bottlenecks.
Proposed Improvement:
- Refactor the file search and/or text search logic to utilize asynchronous programming (using
asyncio and related async file IO libraries) for searching through files and/or lines, rather than using ThreadPoolExecutor or ProcessPoolExecutor.
- Ensure that resource usage is managed carefully to avoid overwhelming the system, especially with very large file sets.
- Maintain correct exception handling, especially for IO errors or regex issues, in an async execution context.
Potential benefits:
- Significantly improved search speed, especially for large codebases or patterns that match in many files.
- More responsive behavior for users performing large searches.
Acceptance Criteria:
- File and/or text search operations utilize async processing.
- Performance improvements are measurable for large-scale searches.
- No regression in error handling or result accuracy.
- Parallelization is implemented in a way that is compatible with the async context of the operation.
