I have missed Google Code Search, which launched in 2006 and was discontinued in 2013. Similar to GitHub's code search, it supported searching by regex and filtering by language etc. - but obviously the amount of code to search through is orders of magnitude larger than it was 10-15 years ago. Still I wonder what took GitHub so long to build this - it's hardly a novel idea, and it seems like such an obvious power tool for programmers to have.
