## Description

Tabular Editor documentation search and configuration file guidance (.tmuo, Preferences.json, UiPreferences.json, Layouts.json). Automatically invoke when the user asks about "TE docs", "Tabular Editor features", "TE3 preferences", ".tmuo files", "workspace database settings", "DAX editor settings", "per-model TE3 configuration", or needs to search Tabular Editor documentation for how-to guidance.

# Tabular Editor Documentation & Configuration

Guidance for searching Tabular Editor documentation and understanding TE3 configuration files (.tmuo, Preferences.json, etc.).

## Pre-flight

Before using documentation search, verify `pbi-search` is installed:

```bash
pbi-search --version
```

If the command is not found, inform the user and offer two options:

1. **Install `pbi-search`** (recommended): see `bin/README.md` for install instructions via `cargo install` or GitHub Releases at [data-goblin/pbi-search](https://github.com/data-goblin/pbi-search)
2. **Search without the CLI**: use `WebFetch` to retrieve docs directly from these sources:
   - Microsoft Learn: `https://learn.microsoft.com/`
   - Tabular Editor docs: `https://docs.tabulareditor.com/`
   - DAX reference: `https://dax.guide/<function>/`
   - SQLBI articles: `https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/`
   - Data Goblins: `https://data-goblins.com/`

The CLI is strongly preferred; it searches all sources simultaneously and returns clean markdown. The fallback requires manual URL construction and multiple fetches.

## Documentation Search

Use the `pbi-search` CLI, the preferred way to search Tabular Editor docs and related Power BI/DAX resources. It searches Tabular Editor docs, DAX.guide, SQLBI, Microsoft Learn (Power BI + Fabric), the TE blog, and Data Goblins simultaneously, returning clean markdown.

After install, populate the local manifest cache (once):

```bash
pbi-search sync        # ~13s
```

### Searching

```bash
# Search all sources
pbi-search search "creating measures"

# Search only Tabular Editor docs
pbi-search search "BPA rules" --source te-docs

# Search TE blog + TE docs
pbi-search search "incremental refresh" --source te-docs --source te-blog

# JSON output for structured use in agents
pbi-search search "workspace mode" --source te-docs --json

# Include content excerpts
pbi-search search "calculated columns" --source te-docs --excerpts
```
