Comment on Changes to Code Search Indexing

Comments

This kind of sucks. Sometimes I use Code Search to try to find things that are particularly obscure, such as usages of new or obscure APIs, or what have you. No matter what the rule is, not indexing all of Github breaks this.

I suppose I take it for granted that ridiculously huge search indices are a solved problem, but it turns out they aren’t.
