Shameless plug: there’s also Debian Code Search at https://codesearch.debian.net/ https://codesearch.debian.net/. It’s based on the same idea as Google Code Search (using regular expressions sped up by a trigram index) and indexes everything that is available in Debian sid. If your search on GitHub isn’t fruitful, consider giving Debian Code Search a spin. Disclaimer: I built it. Happy to answer questions if you have any.

thanks for the project :) One query - Is it actively maintained? The reason is I see "2012-2014 Debian Code Search" on the footer. So just wanted to check!

  It is! https://github.com/Debian/dcs/commit/e1c04a3c0cfbfc11a0e8eaac505775ed1b612619 https://github.com/Debian/dcs/commit/e1c04a3c0cfbfc11a0e8eaa... Check out https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg//2016/08/08/debian-codesearch-latency.html https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg//2016/08/08/debian-cod... for details on the most recent bigger change.

It shares the biggest problem of Github code search. Duplicate results.

  Partly this is because DCS is indexing Debian sid, in which multiple versions of packages can be present (due to transitions): $ curl -s http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/source/Sources.gz http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/source/Source... | zgrep '^Package: git$' | wc -l 4 If we didn’t index Debian sid, you’d only get one version per package, but also the results wouldn’t be as fresh. You can follow one of these two issues: https://github.com/Debian/dcs/issues/40 https://github.com/Debian/dcs/issues/40 (at most 1 result per package) https://github.com/Debian/dcs/issues/49 https://github.com/Debian/dcs/issues/49 (limit by suite, where you could search something else than Debian sid) If you have any other ideas about how to address the issue, please let me know.
