- sqs 5y agoWould you (or anyone else) be willing to write up a page for that site to document what Amazon's internal code search is like (from publicly available sources)?
- wizwit999 5y agoIm not sure much is public info. I'm not there anymore but perhaps someone who is can. Its called GitFarm and had a web UI where you could search with a few different operators, like exact word, path, file extension. They kinda half implemented searching by class name just for Java too. Another thing, you couldn't add a NOT, or exclude certain filepaths, which was annoying especially when ppl would accidentally commit node_modules. Overall, it wasn't too bad buy feels like it had kinda stagnated recently (KTLO).
