Size of index is pretty low, to be honest. First thing I tried was 0x5F3759DF, and it found nothing. It deletes non-quoted symbols such as + from queries and pretty much ignores parentheses. I tried few more queries and came out disappointed, I don't think it is acceptable as code search at all, especially as a modern one.

Hello @terafo! Thank you for checking out this project. At the moment, the index is still very small at around 100 repositories. I will add more repositories to the index and improve the search query.

Besides creating this project, I'm looking for a job that involves full text search, if anyone has an opening please let me know.

Thank you.

I tried “npm ci” and only got 5 results. Github returns 8 million.
