GitHub code search has been terrible since forever. They keep braying about preview stuff, AI search, etc. but when will this make it into their mainstream (let alone their on-prem) Enterprise product? (This has been in preview since December last year, but https://github.blog/2018-09-18-towards-natural-language-sema... was posted back in 2018 yet is still to be released.)

I agree that semantic code search would be a nice tool in exploratory and onboarding scenarios. The GitHub blog you posted and the CodeSearchNet project was a catalyst that got me interested in semantic code search. That's why I've been hacking on https://codesearch.ai in my spare time at Sourcegraph, which implements a version of semantic code search w/ transformers.
