# Cursor Indexing Issues
## Overview
This skill helps troubleshoot Cursor codebase indexing problems. It provides solutions for stuck indexing, empty search results, performance issues, and configuration optimization to ensure your codebase is properly indexed for AI features.
## Prerequisites
- Cursor IDE with indexing enabled
- Access to Cursor settings
- Command line access for cache clearing
- Understanding of project file structure
## Instructions
1. Check indexing status in status bar
2. Identify the specific issue (stuck, empty results, performance)
3. Review and update `.cursorignore` configuration
4. Try manual refresh via Command Palette
5. Clear index cache if issues persist
6. Restart Cursor and allow re-indexing
## Output
- Functional codebase indexing
- Working `@codebase` search queries
- Optimized indexing performance
- Properly configured exclusion patterns
## Error Handling
See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.
## Examples
See `{baseDir}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.
