Article raises 2 questions for me.
1) How can you write this whole article without saying "Kythe"?
2) How exactly can github search be as bad as it is? With all of Microsoft behind it, you'd think it would be a lot better than it is.

I'll be taking another look at Kythe, and reaching out to the current Grok team, as we expand scip. But ultimately it didn't matter what protocol/format we standardize on. We just need to standardize. So it's scip!
Well, it does discuss Grok (the closed source predecessor) extensively.
Finding a technology preview for a radically improved cross-language code search capability within GitHub was an unexpectedly nice surprise.
