When a fork has less stars than its parent, it is not indexed at all for code search. So it won't show up even when you use fork:true. The fork:true search filter is used to show results for forks that have been indexed for search.

In the example of the TeamTwisted/external_chromium_org fork, that code is searchable because it has more stars than its parent repo. However the PEZ/Sketch-Plugin-Testing-Repo fork does not, so it won't be searchable at all with any filter.
