We've been using Sourcegraph at Uber and it has been working pretty well. We saw a performance regression last week with `max` queries but it got fixed fairly quickly (less than a week from reporting to having the fix deployed)

Some wishlist things:

- would be nice if the query language was better documented (not the GraphQL console, the help section for that is comprehensive)

- a coworker had expressed a desire for multi-line searches (which is supposedly in the pipeline)




Sourcegraph CEO here. Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the regression! I filed an issue to improve our search docs at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/190 (will fix in the next day or so) and to add multi-line searches at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/191 (this is one of 3 significant search improvements coming in the next few months).


Awesome! Rock on!


(Sourcegrapher here) Just curious, have you discovered this page before from the in-app help area? https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/search/query-syntax/

(We will improve our docs here & make them stand out more in the app regardless, I think that is a great suggestion.)

I also very much want multi-line searches, I can't wait for them :)


Yeah, this help page is fairly easy to find (two clicks: ? icon -> "How to search"). I figured I'd ask because for example `max` is not documented there, even though it's pretty important for the sort of stuff I use Sourcegraph for (i.e. finding out all the repos that use X).
