## Code navigation
{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} code search provides code navigation for supported languages. This includes jumping to the definition of and finding references for programming language constructs like classes, structs, functions, and methods. See "[AUTOTITLE](/repositories/working-with-files/using-files/navigating-code-on-github)."
Supported languages for code navigation include:

## Limitations
We have indexed many public repositories for code search, and continue to index more. Additionally, the private repositories of {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom%} users are indexed and searchable by those that already have access to those private repositories on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}. However, very large repositories may not be indexed at this time, and not all code is indexed.

We are working on adding support for more languages. If you would like to help contribute to this effort, you can add support for your language in the open source [Tree-sitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter) parser ecosystem, upon which symbol search is based.
