Can you provide detailed steps to reproduce? What strings did you search? Two examples of repos that appeared in the results? What is the link to your repo that did not appear in the results?

Details like this would help the OP to track down the exact cause of why it has indexed the forks but not the original repo.

The authors are quite explicit that this site only includes a fraction of all github repos. Thus, this is not a "bug" that needs to be corrected.

In my case, I am not talking about forks but about people who copied my files into their repositories (with proper attribution and respecting the license). I just searched for my surname and was happily surprised to see it in major projects like ffmpeg, pytorch, bytedeco, scikit and opencv.
