Should be an interesting research tool to see how often we use shitty commit messages when trying to get something fixed... https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=fix&type=Commits&...

These links do not work if you're not logged in.

Yeah I think github does that to prevent bots searching the codebase as easily.

I'm curious how long it took to build their search index, and how they do it/what technologies/algorithms they are using. That's a lot of data!

based on the how Github Enterprise works, they probably use the same technology, meaning ElasticSearch.

I wonder how often they rebuild the indexes, and scan for new commits. That's an interesting problem to solve actually
