Vera vs coco-search
Vera: Vera is a local-first code search tool that uses BM25, vector search, and cross-encoder reranking. It indexes over 60 languages with tree-sitter and returns structured JSON results. It runs as a single static binary with no external dependencies.; coco-search: CocoSearch is a local-first hybrid semantic code search tool that combines vector similarity and keyword matching via RRF fusion. It uses CocoIndex for indexing, Tree-sitter for syntax-aware chunking, and PostgreSQL with pgvector for storage. It supports 32 languages, 9 grammars, dependency graphs, cross-repo search, and multiple interfaces.
