Github search using regex

Question

Is there any way to search code in a github repo using regular expressions?

Currently, I clone the repo and search.

But I want to type something like

s/foo/gi

and find all occurances of foo in the code:

foo.create
foo.extend
fooBar
barFoo
bar.foo

Is this possible? Am I missing something in the docs?

Answer 1

This is now possible with GitHub Code Search.
