I can agree that the detection is broken. C++ gets often recognized as C. PHP with some CSS file gets recognized as mostly CSS, etc. Personally I'd like to have a fixed language that I can set and that the search will use. Next to that, it would be fine for me to statically show what the repository contains, but please use a better language detection, just going by extensions is quite naive.

  Well, I expect that's why so much C++ is misrecognized. Not enough people write valid C++, in Github's narrow world view. :)
