I hear you, but we didn't break this for no reason. We rewrote our entire code search stack to support features it didn't before, like exact match, regular expressions, indexing forks, navigating to where methods are defined, not timing out constantly, etc. None of that was possible in the old system. Unfortunately, the architecture we chose to make the new features possible made some of the features of the old system difficult. We made the choice to focus on things we believe (more) users get (more) value out of.
