I am seeing the same issue across multiple repositories since around August 29, 2026.

A small public repository that reproduces the problem is:

https://github.com/vistar941/CustomNavigationTitle

For example, CustomNavigationTitle clearly exists in Package.swift, README.md, and other files:

https://github.com/vistar941/CustomNavigationTitle/blob/main/Package.swift

However, this code search currently returns zero results:

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Avistar941%2FCustomNavigationTitle+CustomNavigationTitle&type=code

The repository is public, is not archived or disabled, uses main as its default branch, and is only about 3.4 MiB, so this does not appear to be caused by the documented large-repository or generated-code limitations.

The REST Code Search API shows the same behavior:

• HTTP 200
• total_count: 0
• incomplete_results: false

Interestingly, a single-character REST API search such as a repo:vistar941/CustomNavigationTitle still returns results, while longer terms that definitely exist return zero results.

I have observed the same issue with multiple other public and private repositories. At the same time, some unrelated repositories still return expected results. For example, the REST Code Search API returns results for "package main" repo:cli/cli.

This was working normally until approximately yesterday. Could GitHub please investigate whether some Code Search indexes or shards have become inconsistent or require reindexing?
