References

Find all references to a symbol by name via LSP; more accurate than grep for code symbols.

<usage> - Provide symbol name (e.g., "MyFunction", "myVariable", "MyType"). - Optional path to narrow search to a directory or file (defaults to current directory). - Tool automatically locates the symbol and returns all references. </usage> <features> - Semantic-aware reference search (more accurate than grep/glob). - Returns references grouped by file with line and column numbers. - Supports multiple programming languages via LSP. - Finds only real references (not comments or unrelated strings). </features> <limitations> - May not find references in files not opened or indexed by the LSP server. - Results depend on the capabilities of the active LSP providers. </limitations> <tips> - Use this first when searching for where a symbol is used. - Do not use grep/glob for symbol searches. - Narrow scope with the path parameter for faster, more relevant results. - Use qualified names (e.g., pkg.Func, Class.method) for higher precision. </tips>
