What happened to sourcegraph is very sad. It was a great tool, and the kind of software you wish the apache foundation was managing.

I've been looking for alternatives - any recommendations?

For code search, I've heard Hound is pretty good but I haven't personally tried it yet. The UI is a bit clunky though. I'm wondering if one can port the old Apache-licensed Sourcegraph UI? https://github.com/hound-search/hound

Just out of curiosity, is code search something you need to get bleeding edge updates? What's wrong with running the pre-rug-pull release? There even seems to be a pseudo community fork that added features: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41297879

I have ran Hound in my current co for about 2 years now, it's fine but the search experience is far below the SG one. SG is a far superior option but it is prohibetively expensive. I thought about hacking on Hound to be honest to rewrite the UI at least because half of it is broken.
