Changes to Code Search Indexing

I apologize the changelog wasn't more clear. For repos like that, they continue to show up in search results. Every time they do, that resets the clock on when the repo ages out of the index. We tried to strike a balance between performance and having _all_ the code in the index.

But once they age out, then they're invisible as they won't show in the search results.

If showing in the search index is what resets the clock (in addition to making commits), how do you search for something that's not in the index?

Commit activity or showing up in a search result.
