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.

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.

- Searching a large code base.

Improving GitHub Code Search
My job uses https://oracle.github.io/opengrok/ and I'm generally happy with it. It has some problems with special character searches at times but generally does what I want. It's certainly better than code search in our on-prem github instance.

Is there a tool that would allow me to query (structured search) a codebase?
I used it a long time ago, but I see this is still around: https://oracle.github.io/opengrok/

You've never come across https://github.com/oracle/opengrok for example?

Improving GitHub Code Search
For the grepping aspect, https://github.com/google/zoekt is a powerful one-stop-shop. For the navigating, I don't know. SourceGraph maybe, but the linking is somewhat heuristic I assume, not compilation-graph powered. But maybe that changes or depends per language.

Facebook open sources Glean, its scalable code search and query engine
The latest index/search engine is https://github.com/google/zoekt
- A 5x reduction in RAM usage
What are some alternatives?
hound - Lightning fast code searching made easy
codesearch - Fast, indexed regexp search over large file trees
sourcegraph - Code AI platform with Code Search & Cody
Glean - System for collecting, deriving and working with facts about source code.
hoogle - Haskell API search engine
the_silver_searcher - A code-searching tool similar to ack, but faster.
roaring-rs - A better compressed bitset in Rust
Javet - Javet is Java + V8 (JAVa + V + EighT). It is an awesome way of embedding Node.js and V8 in Java.
