This feature would enable users to see the most popular and recently updated GitHub repositories at the top of search results when GitHub has been prioritized. The feature aims to save time by surfacing trusted, actively maintained repositories, which are more likely to be relevant, especially for developers and technical users who need reliable sources for code and technical information.
Implementation: Add a sorting option that automatically prioritizes GitHub repositories by star count or recent updates whenever GitHub is set as a prioritized domain in search settings. This sorting could either be the default or a toggleable setting, depending on the user’s preference.
Expectation: This would improve search efficiency by allowing users to find well-maintained and popular projects quickly, avoiding outdated or less-known repositories.
Users with GitHub set as a priority would benefit from an automatic sorting feature that highlights the most relevant repositories based on star count and recent updates. This feature could be similar to sorting options in other search engines or code repository platforms that allow filtering or ordering results by popularity or activity.
For example:
- Google’s “sort by relevance” or “sort by date” options.
- GitHub’s internal search filters that allow sorting repositories by star count or recent updates.
Adding this feature would extend the usefulness of the current prioritized search settings, making it faster and more efficient for users to locate popular and actively maintained repositories without manually sifting through all results.
