Yes and this is why Github handicapped their search so much.

But at the end of the day, any secret you post publicly is compromised.

That's a very poor reason to not have good searching functionality considering the uses far outweighs the potential risk. I highly doubt it's the case.
I'm 90% sure it is.

GitHub had great search, then they took it down when they found people we're scraping credentials with it, then they had bad search. I'm connecting the dots.

Thankfully the guys over at Sourcegraph feel differently about how searchable projects should be.
