Well, as long as we're discussing search wish lists, I'd love case-sensitive search.

Just an FYI, my product solves yours and your parent post wish:

http://gitsense.github.io/

Search/code management metrics are done at the branch level and there will be case-sensitive searches. The indexers are already building case sensitive indexes, it's just that it hasn't been enabled.

Unfortunately I can't say when the indexer will be available for private use at the moment.

Edit:

Forgot to mention that because the indexing is done at the branch level, searching across branches to verify what is/isn't present is pretty trivial like the following example:

http://gitsense.github.io/images/gitsense-on-4.png

Looks interesting.

I'll return the FYI and let you know it wasn't immediately obvious that there were arrows I could click on to see what else it was your product can do.

Thanks for the feedback. I've had a sneaky suspicion that people weren't really getting a full idea of what the product does. I've been meaning to add more visual cues like dots on top of the image to indicate that there are multiple pictures/feature highlights.
I'm not sure the dots would provide more of a visual cue either.

What's wrong with separating the descriptive text from the images, and making people scroll down to read more?
