Hey @Palkers76 — there are a few tools depending on what you mean by "search":

• Code/content within files → search_code (pkg/github/search.go). Backed by GitHub's native code search, so you can use the same qualifiers as the UI: filename:Dockerfile, path:src/**/*.ts, extension:md, repo:owner/name, org:foo, etc.
• Filename lookup inside one repo → get_file_contents does double duty. If the path you pass doesn't resolve to an exact file/dir, it falls back to a recursive Git Tree scan and returns up to 3 suffix matches (matchFiles / filterPaths in pkg/github/repositories_helper.go). So get_file_contents with path: "MyComponent.tsx" effectively does a filename search inside that repo.
• Repos themselves → search_repositories.
• Non-code → search_issues, search_pull_requests, search_users, search_orgs.

What there isn't: a tool that searches arbitrary binary documents (PDFs, .docx) stored in a repo. The server is a thin wrapper over GitHub's REST/Search APIs, so it only sees what code search indexes — text files, ~384 KB cap per file, default branch only. Wiki and Releases content aren't searchable through this server either.
