I want to search on GitHub: "@angular-architects/ddd" but I got no results on Code tab:

It is obvious that there are many results, and this is one of them:

https://github.com/mikezks/20220920/blob/main/package.json#L53

Did I use the search wrong, or is it a known bug on GitHub?

CodePudding user response：

Because, per the search docs:

• You can't use the following wildcard characters as part of your search query: . , : ; / \ ` ' " = * ! ? # $ & ^ | ~ < > ( ) { } [ ] @. The search will simply ignore these symbols.

The forward slash and at sign are ignored, and there are no hits for angular-architectsddd. If you search for the scope and package name separately instead, you get some results: https://github.com/search?q="angular-architects" ddd&type=Code (currently 304 hits)

Note if you're looking for usages of this package in other NPM-based repositories, you can scope the search to package files: https://github.com/search?q="angular-architects" ddd filename:package.json&type=Code (currently 204 hits)
