Limited search and find a file after git repo split
One thing that doesn't work well anymore after the repo split is
a) quickly navigate to a file (hit key "T" in github) across all Sling code (e.g. if you know the api or have a stacktrace, but no idea what repo that is)
b) search
Unfortunately, github only indexes the main branch for b), so you can't search the "old" code base in [1] anymore. Granted, that would soon only only for historical purposes.
For the current code, you can approach b) by searching in the entire "apache" organization, but then you might also find a lot of noise from other projects.
I can't tell you how often I have been using a) or b) to navigate and read Sling code, it's a key tool for me.
Any ideas?

Ah, great, that's useful!
Maybe add that link to the sling-old-svn-mirror README [1], apache/sling-aggregator [2] and the modules page [3].
Here is one more realistic query for me: search for the SlingMainServlet source code:
https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=repo:%5Egithub%5C.com/apache/sling-*++file:SlingMainServlet.java
[1] https://github.com/apache/sling-old-svn-mirror
[2] https://github.com/apache/sling-aggregator
[3] https://github.com/apache/sling-aggregator/blob/master/docs/modules.md

At times I have used sourcegraph to search across repos like
https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=repo:%5Egithub%5C.com/apache/sling-*++file:pom.xml.
It seems to pickup most of the repo matching given pattern

I'm not sure we can do much about the old svn mirror being indexed, but
adding a link to the Sling Aggregator sure would help.

It seems nothing has really improved :) I just ended up on https://github.com/apache/sling-old-svn-mirror, trying to find sources from Sling, but really have no clue where it is, and the links on that readme don't help at all.

Too many repos :)
The root problem I think is that all apache projects are under one github organization. A github org is the natural place for multi-repository projects, and most features like search work well across all repos in one org.
Maybe the ASF can be persuaded to support "apache-<project>" organizations, with github somehow locking the "apache-*" namespace. Although I doubt this would ever happen.

After a quick look at the github pages my only suggestion is using the
advanced search page
https://github.com/search/advanced
and filling in all the sling repos in the repo field. The search would
then be something like this
org:apache repo:org-apache-sling-api ResourceResolver
Unfortunately it does not seem to work :-( . If we find something that
works this way we can create a custom search link on sling.apache.org
and allow searching from there.
Thanks,
Robert
