I was wondering why I still often go to GitHub for search, and I think its because I often search within a single repo and it's just easier to select a single repo on GitHub than in codesearch.
We should have an autocomplete on the repo selector, to make it faster to search for and select a single repository. Possible make this a separate page even, because opening up the advanced just to select the specific repo I already know the name of is also not that efficient.
Hmm, another reason is that I can quickly jump back and forth between repo browsing and repo search, maybe see if we can embed/link between gitles and codesearch a bit more than on just the search results ?

[labs/codesearch@master] [WIP] frontend: Rewrite codesearch-beta, make feature-complete, fix bugs
Reason:
The above, rewrites the beta UI, and among other things implements an autocomplete multi-select field, powered by fuzzysort.
It is inspired by the implementation that ships with QUnit (upstream 1, upstream 2) as of this year.
