I work on this, and I agree we should do more to improve ranking. Exact duplicates are supressed, but often forks have different versions of some files, so they come up in the results.

If you don't want to see forks, you can exclude them. Here's your same search, but converted to a regex and not including forks. I only get 3 results.

Not including forks should be the default IMO. There can be a button in the Advanced section of the sidebar to include them.
Are you at all embarrassed at all by how buggy and intentionally unusable Github has become?
