Review Summary
Users highly appreciate the Wiki Search for GitHub extension as it provides essential wiki search capabilities missing from GitHub itself, saving users time especially in large or private repositories. However, multiple reviews mention that the extension no longer works properly for many users, likely due to lack of updates and compatibility issues with recent GitHub changes. Performance issues like slow search on large wikis and occasional UI glitches are also noted. Overall, while the extension is valued, its current reliability and maintenance status are concerns.
