Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Code Search Is Hard
If you ever leave you can use Livegrep, which was based on code-search work done at Google. I personally don't use it right now but it's great and will probably meet all your needs.

Sourcegraph is no longer Open Source
[4] is not really a usable 'product'. Livegrep (https://github.com/livegrep/livegrep) was inspired by it and is very usable.
[3] used to be a Google open source project as well, but it fell out of maintenance, and Sourcegraph took it over. It powers most of the basic regex/literal search in Sourcegraph.
Mozilla's code is searchable in Searchfox (https://searchfox.org/) which uses the indexer from Livegrep, combined with their own Git indexer and language-specific cross reference databases.
OpenGrok (https://github.com/oracle/opengrok) is also rather well known, but I have found it to have a slightly worse UI than alternatives.

Are there any good full text searching tools? I need to search against a huge amount of source code. I'm using ripgrep. The problem is that every time I search, it has to read every file again, which is kind of slow. Is there a FT searching tool that is designed with source code searching in mind.
Yes, you want https://github.com/livegrep/livegrep

Facebook open sources Glean: a scalable code search and query engine
If you've not had to deal with a codebase that takes VSCode longer than a few minutes to index, then you're probably outside their initial target market. If you've not had to setup a hosted code search tool (eg livegrep https://github.com/livegrep/livegrep ) because there's just too much code,
