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,

Is Meta decommissioning Sigma?
Even if it is true (which is an unsubstantiated gossip at the moment), Sigma is not the only Haskell project at Facebook. See https://github.com/facebookincubator/Glean for another example.
