Agreed. Luckily, we as a community have tools like Sourcegraph which are based on battle-tested pragmatic systems from places like Google.

Disclaimer: no affiliation, just love the team and product.

At first I thought this would replace Sourcegraph, but looks like it's just an experiment with NLP... Thank goodness we have Sourcegraph for searching GH but especially for searching GHEnterprise in an SOA environment where it's impossible to have every repo cloned locally for ripgrep.

P.S. I'm not affiliated, we just use Sourcegraph at a company I work for.

Damn, Sourcegraph is very close to something I've been thinking of building.
