Comment on Changes to Code Search Indexing

Comments

The announcement is a bit ambiguous: Does this include the per-repo search, or just the global code search? Does code search include issues and pull requests, or just code?

Honestly I've always hated Github's full text search on code. Give me an amped-up per-repo grep and scrap global code search entirely. Maybe I'm lacking in imagination, but I can't see how full text search is useful to anybody.
