Why would I use this instead of github code search, which appears to be quite comprehensive?

Hello! You asked how is Code Finder different from GitHub Search. So there is some difference in the user experience and ease of use compared to GitHub search. Let's say you want to look for some ML algorithms for image recognition written in Python. In Code Finder you would simply write it as it is: Machine learning algorithm for image recognition in Python If you want to use GitHub's built-in search and get the same results you would have to write some complex syntax like this: machine-learning AND image-recognition language:python language:Jupyter-Notebook

Besides that Code Finder ranks the search results based on a custom-made algorithm that measures the relevance of the search result to the search request, and in that way, you get an easy search experience with the most relevant answers.
