GitHub search is notoriously poor, though—it can only match whole words (e.g. the query "FooBar" does not match the text "FooBarBaz"), and it doesn't support regexes.

And way worse it doesn't even keep word order and similar. So searching for `fn foobar` will return any file containing the words `fn` and `foobar` not caring about you looking for `fn foobar`. Then if you find what you want opening the preview doesn't jump to the right line in the file so I have to search again using "find in page".
