Ask HN: Better GitHub issue/comment search

1 pointsby twa927about 6 years ago
I&#x27;m having a pretty terrible experience using Github for a project with many comments per issue (30-150). The problem is with searching through issue comments:<p>1. The issue search doesn&#x27;t display snippets of comments<p>2. The global search https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;search displays only a single snippet per issue<p>3. Because of 1., I have to open the found issues one by one. But before I can &quot;CTRL+F&quot; I must click &quot;Load more...&quot; several times to ensure I&#x27;m searching through all the comments. Even finding and clicking all the &quot;Load more...&quot; links is challenging since they are displayed in various places and sometimes there&#x27;s more than one such link.<p>Just disabling the &quot;Load more...&quot; links (ensuring all comments are loaded) would be a big help for me. Alternatively, I could use a 3rd-party Github client with a better search.<p>Anyone knows about something that could help?
