Then their documentation is wrong. I learned the hard way that GitHub code search didn't search file names in my case. I searched for a short bare string with some alphabet letters and one underscore, and it failed to find the file with that exact string in the file name, costing me a lot of time missing what I was looking for.

Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem publicly because it happened while searching a private repo.
