I always found the code search more distracting than helpful. Just let me use the browser native Command + F ffs.
That doesn't really work all the time, because large files or large commits are lazy loaded on scroll, so what you're searching might not have loaded yet
The code search does a server side search
I’m usually using it not to search the codebase but to search for something specific with a file.
I think it's referring to when you're searching the entire code base(s), as opposed to individual pull requests.
