Announcing unlimited free private repos

Honest question: how do you make github search work for you? It often fails to find stuff that I know exists in a given repo. Nothing fancy, even single-word full symbol names.

Same here. Does https://source.cloud.google.com work for you?

What you describe used to be a problem years ago, but since they updated their search to its current iteration a year or two ago, I have had no issues finding exact string matches in repos. Can you give an example of a repo and a search that fails?

How do you search for those exactly?
