Summary
- Indexes Windows Platform SDK, WinAppSDK, NuGet packages, and project-output WinMD files; Platform SDK and WinAppSDK are available immediately on fresh clones without restore or build
- Two workflows: discover mode for finding the right API by capability keywords, and lookup mode for retrieving exact methods, properties, events, and enum values of known types
- Requires .NET SDK 8.0+ and a one-time cache generation via Update-WinMdCache.ps1 before queries can run
- Search scoring ranks results by match type (exact, starts-with, contains, fuzzy) and groups by namespace; low-scoring results can fall back to Microsoft Learn documentation
