behold the best way to search github issues. Using Google or whatever decent search engine:

    site:https://github.com/org/repo key words

Does this actually work? I would think it will be out of date by at least weeks, and I'd be surprised if their crawlers actually iterate through every issue page.

At least for the fairly popular repos I work on, it's only a few hours out of date, at most 1 day.

So if I'm triaging a new issue, often it'll show up in the results as well

Google checks my site’s site map at least every day. I rarely see anything out of date in their index.
