Research direction

Start by reproducing the linked GitHub searches for resourceGroup with language:Bicep, extension:bicep, and the Azure/bicep repository search. Trace how GitHub's language filter handles Bicep and verify that the language-specific query returns the same relevant results as the extension query; done means language:Bicep no longer returns zero results.
