Searching for -> on Github

Question

How do I escape the > so I can search for all instances of -> in a github repository?

I have attempted using \"->\" but t

Answer 1

GitHub search is based on elasticsearch, which has reserved characters than you can escape.

'>' and '<' are optional operators used for intervals, and it doesn't seem for that character to be escaped (in the way GitHub is using or has configured ealasticsearch).
