We do have code navigation via the UI, so in a way it's possible!

> ability to save searches I do frequently

Absolutely! This is possible using "custom scopes". If you're in the technology preview, click on the scope dropdown, scroll to the bottom, and choose "custom scopes". You can make a custom scope to search a set of respositories, a particular language, within a directory, or any combination with boolean operators!




I wonder if “custom scopes” is going to be a recognizable term for people?
