Description

Hi, Thanks for this awesome tool. In my environment, we just use a handful of programming languages. Is there a way to remove unused languages from the search UI drop down? Ideally the tool should not even list languages it didn't encounter during indexing. Sorry if this is a duplicate, I searched.

Using 1.1-rc13. jdk 1.8.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify where the language dropdown is populated in the web application (likely a JSP or HTML file) and determine how to pass the list of indexed languages from the backend. Modify the dropdown to filter or hide languages not present in the index.
