Speaking of search turns out getting organizational support to build relevancy tooling is more challenging than I anticipated.
I need relevancy tools to show just how much room for improvement there is.
I may just end up rolling a little python CLI for doing “dirty” relevancy measurements.

Comments
For example, there are probably dozens of attributes we could be using to boost different searches on GitHub.
- Number of comments
- Whether the user is mentioned on the thread
- Number of viewers of the issue
- Highly referenced issues
Actually, these could probably be used across the board to improve relevance.
With the size of our data it’s probably a 2-4 year play but it would be so worth it.
