Is the difference that now the basic search functionality actually works?
The previous standard GitHub search I found to be remarkably bad. I would be looking at some small public repo, search for an exact string match I know exists in the code, scope the search to that repo only, and still see zero results. Even copy-pasting a line of code from a file in the repo often resulted in zero matches.
- AtNightWeCode 3y agoI don't get it too. Maybe one needs to enable something. The search is still useless. Locally I use git-grep.
- fallat 3y agoSame experience here. Are there advertisement accounts posting here or something? Legitimately weird.
- colin353 3y agoAh, you need to log in to get access to the new code search!
- Trasmatta 3y agoYou might want to consider replacing git-grep with ripgrep.
- Arnavion 3y agoIt seems you still need to enable the feature. Click your user icon in the top right -> choose "Feature preview" in the dropdown -> enable the "New Code Search and Code View" feature.
