Filter symbols by kind

[glesica]

How difficult would it be to support searching for a symbol by its kind, like function, class name, etc. Bonus points if you can specify how it is used, like function declaration versus function call.

I wouldn't mind doing it myself, but I'm curious if that kind of semantic information is even captured by the index, because it seems like it would be a lot more work if that isn't the case.

Zoekt does not seem to capture symbol types, as it is focused on being a robust regex capable trigram search engine.
What can (could) be done is coming up with a bunch of regex's which capture common symbols for common languages, and making a doc with these examples. Users can initially reference this, and eventually this can be fed into an llm to generate more complex queries when combined with the ebnf of the query language.
