On WP insource doesn't search .css or .js pages.

user: intitle:css 24,916
[user: intitle:css update](//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/~user:intitle:css update) 2284
[user: intitle:css update insource:update](//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/~user:intitle:css update insource:update) 4 pages only

As if insource only lists .css and .js pages where its search term is found inside a comment or nowiki tag on the page.

I can no longer reproduce this issue; if I run the linked query, the page is the third result. This was probably fixed when T88247 was fixed.
