Sourcebot v4 introduces code navigation, changes to authentication, search result performance improvements, and more!

Code Navigation

Sourcebot now lets you navigate across symbols in your code base with “go-to definition” and “find all references” support. This feature requires an enterprise license, feel free to reach out if you’d like a trial!

Authentication Changes

Beginning in v4, authentication will be required in Sourcebot. The first account to register onto a Sourcebot deployment will be the owner, and all new accounts that register must be approved by the owner. Credential and email code registration is supported in core, with SSO/OAuth providers supported in enterprise. Check out our auth docs for more info, and reach out if you’d like a trial license!

Performance improvements

We’ve overhauled how code results are rendered, which results in significant performance improvements when scrolling through a large amount of search results. Check out the videos below for a comparison of scrolling through 500+ matches in v3 vs. v4:

Dynamic filter updates

Filter by repository and language will now dynamically update, ensuring that the filter options accurately reflect the current filter state:
