The sourcegraph repo may be a good "simple" target now for multi-repo. Recently I believe we removed most of the docs directory and it is now in a docs repo. I think similiar things may also happen to our CHANGELOG.
When repos are very large or the context includes multiple distinct repos, it can be harder to retrieve highly relevant results. We should evaluate the multi-repo and large repo case using the "golden queries" approach.
Once we finish an initial "research spike", we'll add a list of tasks.
I suspect that good ranking is going to be critical here, given the larger and noisier result set. Ideas:
