From 4734d43e1422da04f9ff79ea0212f7e9472b55a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wxiaoguang Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2024 00:05:00 +0800 Subject: Support repo code search without setting up an indexer (#29998) By using git's ability, end users (especially small instance users) do not need to enable the indexer, they could also benefit from the code searching feature.
