behold the best way to search github issues. Using Google or whatever decent search engine:

    site:https://github.com/org/repo key words

Does this actually work? I would think it will be out of date by at least weeks, and I'd be surprised if their crawlers actually iterate through every issue page.

  • Google checks my site’s site map at least every day. I rarely see anything out of date in their index.

  • At least for the fairly popular repos I work on, it's only a few hours out of date, at most 1 day.

    So if I'm triaging a new issue, often it'll show up in the results as well
