We’ve just rolled out a search box on every repository that allows you to search by a number of criteria.
As always, your feedback how we can tweak the search to make it better is appreciated.
To kick this feature off right, post your favorite search in the comments.
Me first! (possibly not safe for work)

Works beautifully. But it might be nice to include the lines before and after for a little more context. Many searches get cut off mid-sentence.
Would be nice if the line number in the search result was an anchored link to the source file.
totally awesome but I agree with meekish, a link to the source file would be great.
Case insensitivity. FIXME != fixme and it should in a search form.
Multiple search terms (todo OR fixme OR bug)
Good stuff!
when the search matches multiple lines from one file t looks at first glance like they are successive lines, you have to look at the low-contrast line-numbers to the left to realise there are gaps in between the matches. it would be nice if there was placeholder line showing the omission
I find it very odd that this search field exists on the edit page.
