## About GitHub Code Search (beta)
## About the new code search (beta)
GitHub Code Search (beta) lets you rapidly search, navigate and understand your code, your team's code, and the code of the open source community, all from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}. This search engine is designed to be scalable, code-aware, and support searching code across GitHub using regular expressions, boolean operations, specialized qualifiers, and symbol search. For more information on the syntax of GitHub Code Search (beta), see "[Understanding GitHub Code Search (beta) syntax](/search-github/github-code-search/understanding-github-code-search-syntax)."

## Limitations
We have indexed more than 10 million public repositories for GitHub Code Search (beta). Additionally, the private repositories of GitHub users in the beta are indexed and searchable by beta participants that already have access to those private repositories on GitHub.com. However, very large repositories may not be indexed at this time, and not all code is indexed.

We currently only support searching for code on the default branch of a repository.
Results for any search with GitHub Code Search (beta) are restricted to 100 results (10 pages). This limitation only applies to searching code with GitHub Code Search (beta) and does not apply to other types of searches.

GitHub Code Search (beta) supports searching for symbol definitions in code, such as function or class definitions, using the `symbol:` qualifier. However, note that the `symbol:` qualifier only searches for definitions and not references, and not all symbol types or languages are fully supported yet. For a list of what languages are supported, see "[Symbol qualifier](/search-github/github-code-search/understanding-github-code-search-syntax#symbol-qualifier)."
