Hello github assistant, I want to know why it is so difficult to use the new search code, and why github deleted the old code search, will the old code search be restored?

[cobavcova]

please reply to my feedback

In my memory, github code search results in about 2 years ago was much better than now.

I'm more interested in the old search code, in fact I'm not the only one who needs the old search code, everyone really needs how useful the old search code is for learning

It might help if you could add some specific details to your request.
For example: make a prioritized list the features of the old code search that you found useful (that are lacking in the new code search).
For each, specify some reasons why they were useful to you (use-cases).

this is an example of a maximum long search

@LiteBrite82 please grant our request, and users following this discussions https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/52932 as well.

highly agree with "even Microsoft Windows 95 had a better search engine almost 30 years ago."

I found some previous answers to this question in another post:

@LiteBrite82 so the elder version of code search never come back again, right? For me, I don't really understand and don't really care about the explanation, just tell you the experience and hope that the old code search feature can come back as I found that github code search was help me a lot in those years(before 2023 if I remember correct), but hard to get helpful results since we can't choose old code search feature.

[cobavcova]

@LiteBrite82 So the old code search engine won't be updated, right?

[cobavcova]

@LiteBrite82 response please
