Scope symbol search

Open ry opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Users need a better search function within the Deno standard library. A "scope symbol search" would allow them to find functions and symbols in a specific scope, improving usability and efficiency. Currently, users must navigate back and forth between packages to find functions, which is time-consuming and confusing. Deprecated packages should be sorted to the bottom of search results or hidden altogether.

A really impressive thing to pull off would be to have a global symbol search so I can type globToRegExp and find the exact function in @std/path, or type scope:std join to fall back to scope symbol search.

I know that deno.land/x used to have symbol search for a very short time before it was considered impossible to operate, but it would be a really helpful feature nonetheless.
