If github is going to be considered for issue tracking I just want to

be difficult to find an issue if the exact title isn't entered and many
duplicate reports are made as a result. Code search sucks and doesnt
show you the multiple places in a file where a match was made so a user
may be left wondering if code exists or not, but this doesn't seem to be
germane given this is about issue tracking.
Which search are you using? The old GitHub search is not great, but
cs.github.com has replaced local search for me in the FreeBSD tree.
It's not*quite* as good as fxr, but it's close.
For example, searching for sys_cap_enter:
https://cs.github.com/?scopeName=All+repos&scope=&q=sys_cap_enter+repo%3Afreebsd%2Ffreebsd-src+

Clicking that link greets me with a login screen and a requirement to
join a waitlist. Yes, this is beta and may change in the future, but
not thrilled that an account is required to use and opt into it.
Sorry, I thought it was open to everyone now.
If the issue is needing a GitHub account, I don't have a work around -
in my experience having one has been unavoidable if you want to
contribute to the F/OSS ecosystem for about 10 years now. I used to be
a big proponent of projects hosting their own infrastructure on open
platforms, but after seeing massive jumps in the number of active
contributors for projects that moved to GitHub workflows, I've decided
to pick other battles.
