Summary: Cursor updates codebase indexing to semantic search

Why It Matters: The product is shifting how it describes its core technology. Moving from "codebase indexing" to "semantic search" suggests a focus on how the AI understands the meaning of code rather than just organizing files.

What Changed:

  • Updated the "Complete codebase understanding" section to link to "semantic search" instead of "codebase indexing."
  • Changed the primary download links from a specific version (2.3) to a general download path.
  • Updated the interactive demo text to show "Thinking" tokens and "Planning next moves" instead of "Searching."
  • Removed specific dates from the Slack integration demo conversation.
