From a26ff241836d10738a508ea1ec8f57dbda4b614b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ram Nadella Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2025 14:49:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] perf: replace fuzzy-matcher with nucleo-matcher for improved performance MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Migrated from fuzzy-matcher (SkimMatcherV2) to nucleo-matcher for significantly better fuzzy matching performance. Nucleo is a high-performance fuzzy matcher used in the Helix editor. Performance improvements: - search_exact_match: ~84% faster - search_fuzzy_match: ~77% faster - search_by_symbol_count: 35-59% faster across different sizes - search_no_matches: ~76% faster All tests pass and the API remains compatible with existing functionality. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- pylight/Cargo.lock | 21 +++++++++++---------- pylight/Cargo.toml | 2 +- pylight/src/search.rs | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 3 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/pylight/Cargo.lock b/pylight/Cargo.lock index f9aeafa..f00b7d0 100644 --- a/pylight/Cargo.lock +++ b/pylight/Cargo.lock @@ -757,15 +757,6 @@ dependencies = [ "pin-project-lite", ] -[[package]] -name = "fuzzy-matcher" -version = "0.3.7" -source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index" -checksum = "54614a3312934d066701a80f20f15fa3b56d67ac7722b39eea5b4c9dd1d66c94" -dependencies = [ - "thread_local", -] - [[package]] name = "getopts" version = "0.2.23" @@ -1327,6 +1318,16 @@ dependencies = [ "winapi", ] +[[package]] +name = "nucleo-matcher" +version = "0.3.1" +source = "registry+https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index" +checksum = "bf33f538733d1a5a3494b836ba913207f14d9d4a1d3cd67030c5061bdd2cac85" +dependencies = [ + "memchr", + "unicode-segmentation", +] + [[package]] name = "num-traits" version = "0.2.19" @@ -1534,11 +1535,11 @@ dependencies = [ "flate2", "fluent-uri 0.3.2", "futures-lite 1.13.0", - "fuzzy-matcher", "ignore", "lsp-server", "lsp-types", "notify", + "nucleo-matcher", "num_cpus", "parking_lot", "pretty_assertions", diff --git a/pylight/Cargo.toml b/pylight/Cargo.toml index 8ab7d8d..6795ef6 100644 --- a/pylight/Cargo.toml +++ b/pylight/Cargo.toml @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ ruff_python_parser = { git = "https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff", tag = "0.12.1" ruff_python_ast = { git = "https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff", tag = "0.12.1" } ruff_text_size = { git = "https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff", tag = "0.12.1" } ruff_source_file = { git = "https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff", tag = "0.12.1" } -fuzzy-matcher = "0.3" +nucleo-matcher = "0.3.1" bincode = "1.3" flate2 = "1.0" fluent-uri = "0.3" diff --git a/pylight/src/search.rs b/pylight/src/search.rs index 3125207..d965339 100644 --- a/pylight/src/search.rs +++ b/pylight/src/search.rs @@ -1,12 +1,12 @@ //!
