Former employee. The internal search, Moma, is actually much worse. Although it was made much better when it was reworked a few years ago. Internal sites can't be ranked in the same way as external ones.

But the truly loved search service within Google is codesearch. And that's great

Why is internal search in giant companies so hard?

Meta's internal search, bunnylol, is also nearly useless and a big productivity hog.

Because a big part of the search engine algorithm is recommending things based on how long others spent time there, what other sites they clicked on, etc. There's obv way less data on that for internal search engines.

Ah, ok, it only searches Google code, figures... I still have fond memories of the long-defunct Google Code Search and was wondering if they revived it without me noticing, but alas, they didn't...
