Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe MCP documentation search now uses escaped, whole-word regular expressions. It supports optional plural suffixes, counts regex matches for scoring, and uses regex positions for snippets. Scoring weights and snippet windows remain unchanged.

- Line 116: Update the RegExp boundary classes in the query-matching expression
to include Unicode combining marks via \p{M} on both sides, so decomposed text
such as café is treated as one word while preserving the existing matching
behavior.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winKeep snippet offsets aligned with
page.text.
lower.search(term)returns an index intext.toLowerCase(), but lines 144-146 use that index on the originaltext. Unicode lowercasing can change string length, such asİbecomingi\u0307. If such a character appears before a match, the snippet starts at the wrong location. Search the original text with an equivalent case-insensitive Unicode pattern, or map the lowercased index back to the original string before slicing.Proposed fix
function snippetFor(page: ManifestPage, terms: RegExp[]): string { const text = page.text; - const lower = text.toLowerCase(); for (const term of terms) { - const at = lower.search(term); + const at = text.search(new RegExp(term.source, "iu"));🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
The
/mcpserver'ssearch_quickadd_docsmatched query terms as raw substrings. Every page mentions "QuickAdd", so a term like "quick" matched all of them. On the live site, "quick reference" returned QuickAddAPI, TriggerQuickAddFromOutsideObsidian and CLI, and not Format syntax, which has the actual "Quick reference" section.Terms now match as whole words, with an optional plural
s/es, so "capture" still finds "captures".Changes
functions/mcp.ts: query terms become Unicode-aware whole-word regexes ((?<![\p{L}\p{N}\p{M}])term(?:e?s)?(?![\p{L}\p{N}\p{M}]), with the term escaped; combining marks count as word characters, so decomposed accented words stay whole). The regexes are used for scoring (title, headings, description, text occurrences) and to place snippets. Scoring weights are unchanged.Testing / validation
Ran the real
onRequesthandler under Node against a build of master, withASSETSserved frombuild/:tsc --strict(ES2022) is clean.Checklist
docs:does not trigger a release.Note
Match whole words in MCP docs search instead of substrings
Replaces literal substring matching with Unicode-aware whole-word regex matching in the
search_quickadd_docsMCP tool. A newwordPatternhelper escapes each query term and adds word boundaries plus an optionals/esplural suffix, so a query term no longer matches inside larger words.scorePageandsnippetFornow accept regexes instead of plain strings, using a newcountMatcheshelper for occurrence counts. Existing field weights and the five-occurrence body-text cap are unchanged.handleToolCallconverts lowercased query tokens throughwordPatternbefore passing them to page scoring and snippet generation.search_quickadd_docsresults, which may reduce result count for some queries.Macroscope summarized f2588b0.
