Org wide path searches (with regex) do not return a list of all of the org's results

[n-hebert]

When I do a search like org:my-org path:my-path.txt /regex.* [0-9]/, I expect to see a list of all of the files in the org that fit the path spec and the regex.
Instead, it seems to filter down to the first repository (alphabetically) that matches the search.

I want to see small snippets of all of the hits across the org, not just immediately be dumped into one file.
Is this expected behaviour?

Generally, if you end up directly in a file it means that is the only result that was found. If you know there is more than one result, then we would probably need a more concrete example so that we could reproduce it.

I've been squashing things matching this pattern, so there should be more than one hit, but there may not be. A few days ago there most certainly was, as Sourcegraph was showing over a dozen.

Thanks for the details, I'll have a look, although at the point at which you have finished it may be hard to figure out what was going on.

Thanks for taking a look. I'll confirm that (now that things are whittled down), there should still be 5 search results in various versions.tf after I finish up today(ish)

We were able to figure out the root cause here, and will work on a fix. It's not super trivial, so I don't have a timeline for when it will be ready. Thanks again for reporting it and providing all the extra information.

Excellent! Glad to hear the bug was found and thanks for looking into it and touching back.

Happy coding
