This sucks. I use code search from time to time to find example usages of obscure APIs. With this change it's more or less useless now.

- Ciantic 6y agoYes. My use case for global search have been obscure APIs also. They should have two different code searches if they can't maintain one. More simpler version for global code searches, which all I care could be more literal, like matching only exact substrings. It would still allow discovering usages of obscure APIs. And more comprehensive for searching inside a selected repo. Not sure which one is the problem for them at the moment.
- the_only_law 6y agoI’ve found some shady but incredibly fascinating repos during some obscure projects that probably will be lost to time with code search.
