It would be really awesome if code search could one day consume LSIF for precise results in its index similar to source graph. The symbol search is good now, but approximate. Having more precise code search by allowing devs to upload LSIF data in their CI pipelines would allow for precise symbol search (go to definition / find usages actually being accurate) and remove irrelevant result.

Great point. Yes, we initially focused on zero-config approximate code navigation. But we do intend to support build-based code navigation in the future, since the approximate code navigation experience can be pretty poor for some languages (e.g. C/C++).
