1. I never really noticed that because I mainly use Sourcegraph's code-intelligence on open source projects and as a result search is something that I have to rarely rely on.

2. You can stylize any page using something like stylebot or a homebrew browser extension.

3. Although not something that I do often, I find the filename search on google (for OSS projects) quite accurate and then the chrome extension allows you to open that file on sourcegraph.com or inject code intelligence within the github page as well.

4. Github sort of supports regex like search, you can learn more @ https://help.github.com/articles/searching-code/

2) isn’t about style, it’s about the fact that the results are paginated. You end up needing to search the damn search results, which is super slow when you’re paginated and it could have been a screen scan if you could fill the screen with results and scroll rapidly through the rest.

this is just honest feedback, not a value judgement.

I don’t think the person you replied to is complaining about Sourcegraph. He is talking about how he dislikes GitHub code search, and it seems that he likes Sourcegraph.
I dislike github search too, especially the pagination part but the issues GP mentioned can be avoided by using some google-foo and Sourcegraph for Chrome :)
