It is shockingly bad. The fact that you can't code search in a fork blows my mind. How have they not fixed this basic, important feature after so many years? What could possibly make it more difficult than a few person-months of effort?
- brazzledazzle 8y agoMaybe avoiding the costs associated with keeping the indexes available for every fork? I believe they use elastic search so maybe someone with more experience with that can comment.

- knownothing 8y agoUm, have you actually tried doing anything about this? https://help.github.com/articles/searching-in-forks/ https://help.github.com/articles/searching-in-forks/
- blt 8y ago> You will not be able to search the code in a fork that has less stars than its parent. ... but since it's allowed if the fork has more stars, I guess they're just trying to save compute cost. Seems like a bad place to scrimp to me.
