> search for keywords in the open AND THE CLOSED issues of that repo

Yep, every time I visit the github issues page I immediately remove `is:open` when searching.

It’s a mystery to me why is:open is the default. In most situations you also want any existing “closed” matches to be listed in the results.

It's optimized for developers working on the thing. It'd be cool if the default changed based on your level of access (or settings)
