Why doesn't GitHub display results for package search in code tab?

Because, per the search docs:

  • You can't use the following wildcard characters as part of your search query: . , : ; / \ ` ' " = * ! ? # $ & + ^ | ~ < > ( ) { } [ ] @. The search will simply ignore these symbols.

The forward slash and at sign are ignored, and there are no hits for angular-architectsddd. If you search for the scope and package name separately instead, you get some results: https://github.com/search?q=%22angular-architects%22+ddd&type=Code (currently 304 hits)

Note if you're looking for usages of this package in other NPM-based repositories, you can scope the search to package files: https://github.com/search?q=%22angular-architects%22+ddd+filename%3Apackage.json&type=Code (currently 204 hits)
