Searching through the vast amount of code available in [[Software Heritage]] is a real technical and scientific challenge.

Indeed, when browsing code, one would like to go beyond classical full text search, for which efficient tools do exist.

One possibility is performing search using regular expressions, for which we list here the relevant prior art:
