Local semantic code search - multi-backend (llama.cpp, HF API, ONNX, Ollama)

Project description

semgrepll - Local Semantic Code Search

semgrepll demo

PyPI License: MIT GitHub stars

Local semantic grep using embeddings - 100% offline capable.

Features

  • Multi-backend support: llama.cpp, ONNX, Ollama
  • Auto-detection: Automatically picks fastest available local backend
  • Hybrid storage: SQLite (small projects) or LanceDB (large)
  • 100% offline: No external connections
  • Embedding caching: Fast re-indexing
  • Semantic search: Find code by meaning, not just keywords

Backends (priority order)

Rank Backend Speed Notes
1 llama.cpp ~1s Fastest - requires GGUF model
2 ONNX ~3s Local - uses HF model files
3 Ollama ~6s Local server fallback

Installation

pip install semgrepll

# Optional: ONNX backend support
pip install semgrepll[onnx]

Usage

# Index a project (auto-detects backend)
semgrep index /path/to/project

# Search semantically
semgrep search "authentication logic"

# List indexed projects
semgrep ls

Environment Variables

Variable Description Default

LLM_MODEL_PATH Path to GGUF model (for llama.cpp) -
ONNX_MODEL_PATH Path to ONNX model auto-detect
SEMGREP_BACKEND Storage: auto, sqlite, lance auto

Benchmark

Backend Speed
llama.cpp ~1s
ONNX ~3s
Ollama ~6s
