If only the answer to "how" was as simple as "writing a web service for searching GitHub repos with regexes," even though the problem is probably in itself non-trivial if there's this much interest in search at all. At least the specification is clear enough.

I guess what I mean to ask is, how would people know this is a "correct" answer to the "how" question beforehand? Is the answer literally just "search" because that's simply what's trending right now?
