It seems, problem with your 'JavaSearchBugsTests.java' file as no-function of this file is searchable ! You may dive-into problem with that specific file.

[look]

Hi @jukzi, sorry for the inconvenience. The issue is that this file is 585 KB, which is larger than our current limit of 350 KB. Therefore the file is not indexed.

Thanks for the clarification.
Any file limit restriction is bad. Can even be a security problem: Some time ago i searched github for some malware content and now i know those results are not reliable since a user could have hidden his files by just making it large.

Are there any plans to lift or configure the indexing limit? It's hard to have confidence in the search results when you know that results are being skipped.

We realize it is unfortunate that not all files are indexed. We may increase the limit in the future, but don't have plans to do so now. We are developing tooling so users can see what files are excluded.
