The codebase context is not working.

The codebase context is not working for me. I am a Cursor Pro subscriber and this feature seems to be the biggest advantage of Cursor AI to me (vs copilot, etc). So I appreciate your feedback on it.

  1. If you can, please include a screenshot of your problem: image and the indexing is on and has been done on my code: image

Even if I change the include to be something like *.* or *.md still nothing, while I know the information is there: image

  1. Please include the name of your operating system I am using "Microsoft Windows 11 Home", and running cursor on WSL. image image

  2. If you can, steps to reproduce are super helpful.

  • Open Cursor AI, connect it to WSL, make sure the indexing is on
  • My codes are in WSL file systems.
  • Ask the AI what does it know about my codebase.

On another note: By using the codebase context, is it supposed to use all the indexed codebases (i.e., whatever codebases I have ever indexed) or just the codebase in the current workspace? If it's the first one, how can I change the behavior to focus on the codebase in my current workspace? I work with lots of repositories, and using everything that has been indexed can easily misguide the AI.
