This is fun. Why have you restricted the search to just Identifiers, Variables and Functions? Does this mean that text found in a comment block would not be a match?

I'm already devising how you could incorporate a bag of words algorithm plus an embedding to segment/find similar items.

Yes, by default, it matches any but if you specify a filter, you can restrict on available language features.
