Have you tried the new search? Thanks to the variable length ngram indexing mentioned in the post, it can handle all of those cases. Sign up here to try it: https://github.com/features/code-search https://github.com/features/code-search Symbol extraction for C and C++ is currently disabled because we were having problems with the performance of the tree-sitter queries we were using, but we are planning to bring that back.

Sorry, it cannot handle any of those cases. You're talking about the ability to find the literal `this::foo` but that's not how it would normally appear. It normally will appear anywhere inside a `namespace this` scope, which cs.github does not grok. And cs.github cannot address finding the definition related to a given call site. It doesn't even try.

  You are correct, as I mentioned, we do not analyze symbols for C and C++ at this time.

    Grimoire (I see that in the HTML and HTTP requests for cs.chromium.org and cs.android.com, so I presume that's what it's called) is really cool, although sadly obviously not OSS. It completely falls apart when faced with JS, which is increasingly being checked in as part of frontend and Mojo glue code, so it's (from the perspective of an outsider trying to get their feet wet) a bit creaky, but being able to click around in C++, which I don't really understand at this point, and learn something new almost every time, is really cool, and IMO representative of at least one concrete beneficial outcome whenever you do get to this. I wonder if it would be possible to leverage LSP as a kind of tokenization generalization framework, or even piggyback off of the existing effort by incorporating search-friendly/-helpful metadata into future versions of the protocol spec.
