Where do I file, vote on, and find workarounds for feature requests regarding code search and navigation?

[look]

This category (Code Search and Navigation) is the right place for feedback about code search and code navigation.

On GitHub, you can file, vote on, and find workarounds for feature requests related to code search and navigation in the GitHub Issues section of the respective repository for the GitHub product you are using. Here's how you can do it:

1. Filing a Feature Request:

   • Go to the repository of the GitHub product you are using.
   • Click on the "Issues" tab at the top of the repository.
   • Click the green "New Issue" button.
   • Choose the "Feature request" template.
   • Describe your feature request in detail and submit the issue.

2. Voting on Feature Requests:

   • Visit the "Issues" section of the repository.
   • Find the feature request you want to support.
   • Click the "Thumbs up" reaction (👍) to upvote the request. The more reactions a request gets, the more attention it receives.

3. Finding Workarounds:

   • Workarounds are often discussed in the comments of related issues.
   • Read through the comments on the issue to see if there are any community-suggested workarounds or temporary solutions.

Can you suggest how to find the appropriate GitHub repository for any specific UI element? At the moment, https://github.com/orgs/github/repositories has 503 repositories. I want to suggest a feature for the Issues tab, but there's no repository named "GitHub" https://github.com/github/github --> 404.

None of these repositories look quite right to me: https://github.com/orgs/github/repositories?q=issues

Thanks
