Sourcegraph CEO here.

To compare GitHub to Sourcegraph search, here is that same query on Sourcegraph.com (which is Sourcegraph Server running for all open-source code on GitHub):

https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=repo:Kurento/+DISABLE_LIBRA...

It works as expected (and as the SO poster wanted)! It shows desired results that GitHub search does not.

Regexps are also supported...give it a try!

I'm the poster at SO :) Very cool! I'll definitely give it a try

can you only search a single repo at a time ?

does it parse the code and store the AST, or is it just plain text ?

It searches multiple repositories at a time. That query above searches all repositories in the given organization.

It does have code intelligence (parsing, semantic references and go-to-def, etc.) but that search is just a text search.
