Weird, I was just looking into google code search this weekend so I could use something like it on my work computer. It's a little surprising that big co git storage companies don't have a proper code search tool as part of their package. I use Bitbucket right now but the search is built over Elasticsearch and special characters aren't handled so regular expressions won't work.
A couple open source projects that I've seen are Hound and Zoekt. Hound actually uses this code search backend with a nice frontend in React. Zoekt is what I was going to use since it scales really well, is faster, and has good search operators for filtering by repo name, language, etc. Google was using Zoekt until recently for code search across all their open source repos.[0]

- Cyph0n 7y agoWe use Opengrok at Cisco. It’s a pretty barebones interface, but it works well.
- sebastos 7y agoInteresting, because the search function that Cisco's intranet provides for documents and such is perhaps the single most useless piece of technology I've ever encountered. You could search something like "401k plan" and you'd get marketing materials written in Japanese. Utter trash.
