Body

Hello,
this file in the mongodb repository has on the first line the exact terminology "Server Side Public License"

according to the docs i should be able to do an exact match search on it and find all repositories where his text string appears literally.
however, this doesn't seem to work.

see here: https://github.com/search?q=%22Server%20Side%20Public%20License%22&type=repositories

this list should include the aforementioned repository, but it doesn't

I took a look and found that if you highlight the "code" tab to the left, it does return many instances of the exact string.

@LiteBrite82 thanks for the response, but that's an impractical workaround, since it results in many redundant and/or irrelevant matches. I want to search at the level of repositories. (actually, what i really want is an exact license search, but that is missing many of the licenses i actually want to search for)
