The technology behind GitHub’s new code search
The technology behind GitHub’s new code search
A look at what went into building the world's largest public code search index.
You're viewing a single thread.
The new technology is: show a message saying "Whoaa! You have busted your limit!" on every search.
I didn't do a search for 6 months, but whhooaaa! Calm down with your searches!
I always found the code search more distracting than helpful. Just let me use the browser native Command + F ffs.
That doesn't really work all the time, because large files or large commits are lazy loaded on scroll, so what you're searching might not have loaded yet
The code search does a server side search
I’m usually using it not to search the codebase but to search for something specific with a file.
I think it's referring to when you're searching the entire code base(s), as opposed to individual pull requests.
