As a long time lurker of your work, and someone who works on a fair number of search engines myself - I'm curious, how well does TypeSense handle code search (punctuation, etc.)?

Finally added support for indexing and/or separating on specific symbols in the ongoing pre-release builds. With that, I think Typesense should be able to handle code search, but I have never tried to index and search on code myself :)

Cool! I’d be keen to try it out sometime if you have docs on how I’d get it to index specific symbols
