Oh yeah, Code Search is good.
it is not as good as the search built into Azure Devops [1] however. You don't know power search until you've used a search tool built on the backs of the devs of Windows. Being able to say "Uhhhh I know it was a macro called DeBeanIt2k near a comment with "HACK" in it" gets turned into "comment:HACK macro:DeBeanIt2k" and you get answers back is super nice. There's also an API for it.
