Clangd server does not search symbols in current working directory

Question

I'm trying to configure clangd to be able to search symbols in nvim working directory, but it still uses only opened buffers. Configuration:

local opts = { noremap=true, silent=true }

local on_attach = function(client, bufnr)
  vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(bufnr, 'n', '<leader>gD', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.declaration()<CR>', opts)
  vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(bufnr, 'n', '<leader>gd', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.definition()<CR>', opts)
end

require('lspconfig').clangd.setup{
    on_attach = on_attach,
    filetypes = {"c", "cpp"},
    root_dir = require("lspconfig").util.root_pattern(vim.fn.getcwd()),
}

Searching in clangd requires that the project be indexed, which in turn requires that it have a compilation database (compile_commands.json file).

The compilation database is usually generated by the build system. See https://clangd.llvm.org/installation#compile_commandsjson for instructions for specific build systems.
