💡 What

Modified the SearchEngine class to eliminate inline object allocations inside hot search paths:

  • In searchRemainingItems: Replaced dynamic new Uint8Array(256) allocation with a reusable class-level reusablePriorityTypeIds buffer that is cleared and populated on each call.
  • In addUrlMatches: Replaced dynamic new Set<string>() instantiation with a class-level burstUrlMatchIdsCache that is cleared on each call.

🎯 Why

During burst search operations (e.g., executing searches for every keystroke), creating new Uint8Array and Set instances per stroke results in unnecessary allocations that trigger frequent garbage collection, slowing down rapid typing and UI responsiveness.

📊 Impact

Measurably reduces the GC pause times and allocation overhead during rapid keystroke operations and burst searches, maintaining high throughput in large workspaces.

🔬 Measurement

Tests in the language-server passed, ensuring the exact same matching behaviors and results remain. The performance optimization can be seen in memory profiles that show fewer temporary arrays and sets being allocated and collected when the search functions are invoked continuously.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance
    • Improved search responsiveness by reducing temporary memory allocations during burst searches.
    • Reused internal search caches to make repeated keystroke searches more efficient.

Replaced inline array allocations and object instantiation within `searchRemainingItems` and `addUrlMatches` by hoisting them to reusable class members. This reduces garbage collection overhead in performance-critical hot paths.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reset the reusable URL-ID cache with the index lifecycle.

The cache introduced on Line 167 retains endpoint IDs after setItems() and clear() release the index. It is only cleared when a later URL search starts, so a long-lived engine can keep stale IDs alive unnecessarily. Clear it in both lifecycle methods and add a regression test covering clear/reload after a URL burst search.

Proposed fix
 async setItems(items: SearchableItem[]): Promise<void> {
+    this.burstUrlMatchIdsCache.clear();
     this.items = items;
     ...

 clear(): void {
+    this.burstUrlMatchIdsCache.clear();
     this.items = [];
     ...
 }
