Body

Hi,

I tried to use the query /@.{1,}\[i\]/ lang:YARA NOT "generic_anomalies" NOT maldoc on GitHub UI, which returned about 102 matching files. However, I wanted to achieve the same result using the API and running a specific command.

C:\Users\Rony>curl -L -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" -H "Authorization: Bearer github_pat_**" -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" "https://api.github.com/search/code?q=%2F%40.%7B1%2C%7D%5C%5Bi%5C%5D%2F+lang%3AYARA+NOT+"generic_anomalies"+NOT+maldoc"
{
  "total_count": 0,
  "incomplete_results": false,
  "items": [

  ]
}

As can be seen above it returned 0 results. Am I missing something here? Thanks.
