You see, I initially came from a similar repository exposed through OpenGrok. But I think that something was wrong with the index or query syntax because I couldn't find the things that I knew were there. I was able to secure a git repo that was close to that of OpenGrok as I found pickaxe to be robust albeit slow alternative for my searches. Thanks for the suggestion.
