- calvin 14y agoIf so, that would be incredible. More than once I've found myself wanting to search a repository for a specific word or variable without downloading it and acking through it.
- vrish88 14y agoYou can actually do that already. Just go to github.com/user/repo/search So: https://github.com/rails/rails/search https://github.com/rails/rails/search
- minikomi 14y agoI thought it might be the "tags" panel - a way to organize your watched repos?
- gabebw 14y agoThat's actually a list of git tags (http://learn.github.com/p/tagging.html http://learn.github.com/p/tagging.html), and they're on the current site, e.g. https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl/tags https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl/tags
- minikomi 14y agooops.. wishful thinking!
- gabebw 14y agoI believe GitHub admins have that little search bar on every repo, while regular joes can only search private repos.
- plorkyeran 14y agoYou can search the contents of public repos from the main search box (https://github.com/search https://github.com/search has instructions on how), and the search bar on private repos is only intended as a workaround for the main search not working for them. I have no idea how it's taken them this long to figure out that the repo-specific search box is far more user-friendly and discoverable.
- amccloud 14y ago- Public repo search. - Main search box says "Search or Type a Command" - Heartbeat icon in main navigation. - Compass icon in top right user navigation. - Advanced search button is now an actual button.
