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,

Mill: A fast JVM build tool for Java and Scala
I believe you have influence over the syntax highlighting on GitHub of .mill files by informing it they're actually Scala, which would make reading those files much nicer IMHO: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/v8.0.1/docs...
Or, I believe you can submit a PR to linguist to make it globally registered: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/v8.0.1/CONT...

Pragtical: The practical and pragmatic code editor
https://github.com/pragtical/plugins/commit/54096a6461f5c034... makes me long for The One Grammar To Rule Them ™
I thought for a while that TextMate bundles[1] were that, especially since JetBrains[2], Linguist[3] and VSCode[4] honor them. However, in the spirit of "the good thing about standards ..." highlight.js does[5] almost the same thing that Pragtical does which makes me feel even worse
I had high hopes for Tree-Sitter since it seems to have really won mindshare, but the idea of having an executable grammar spec[6] is ... well, no wonder it hasn't caught on outside of that specific ecosystem

What is the proper language markup type we should use for a MakeFile code snippet?
Another option is to use Linguist which is what GitHub uses (I use linguist via .gitattributes files for all of my code projects). It is community driven and supports essentially every language possible: see languages.yml.
What are some alternatives?
Glean - System for collecting, deriving and working with facts about source code.
Rouge - A pure Ruby code highlighter that is compatible with Pygments
zoekt - Fast trigram based code search
kotlin-latex-listing - A syntax highlighting template for the Kotlin language in LaTeX listings.
PyMISP - Python library using the MISP Rest API
Highlight.js - JavaScript syntax highlighter with language auto-detection and zero dependencies.
