All the time. Finding obscure uses of libraries/APIs or just how certain code snippets are used, or even just repos about a general topic/implementation of a thing. It’s very sensitive and oftentimes doesn’t work well but I’d prefer to spend 30 seconds trying a couple different variations of my search than get no results at all. Google’s open source search is probably better but until they index Github it’s practically useless for me. Github search may be a bad search tool but by nature of having so much code it’s still useful for me.
