Description
Apparently this repo is now so big and with so many files, that "Code search results" → "< > Code" now fails.
Chances are we've got a whole lot of old package versions to delete to restore the searchability to this repo. More than I'd be able to submit PRs for, unfortunately.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure through the repository's “Code search results” → “<> Code” entry point and reviewing how repository size and old package versions contribute. Define which obsolete versions, if any, can be removed; done means the repository is searchable again without losing required manifests.
