What search engine can find this line of code on Github? (lemmy.world)

https://github.com/ocelot-inc/ocelotgui/blob/19349c7334347eb37ef61b9694390581ea5db238/ocelotgui.cpp#L16896C5-L16896C29

I need to find this line of code based on the keywords "tnt_select" and "2^32", without specifying the repository because I'm looking for instances of the same bug in other projects. This repo is public, the file isn't obfuscated, the code is in the head of the default branch. I've tried Google, Github Code Search, Sourcegraph, and BigQuery on the Github data set. I've found a few ways to locate the .rst and .po documentation files that the bug was copied from, but none that find even this single example of it in actual source code files.

Also I want to say, your scenario is troublesome that GitHub itself could not come up with a satisfactory answer. Strange.

They have github.com/search, but for some reason it returns zero results... presumably it's a limitation (optimisation?) of their search index.
