Unknown language: "B4X"

Hi, may I know why when I click on the link under Languages https://github.com/pyhoon/B4A-Bridge/search?l=b4x
I am redirecting to a search result with 0 match.

This is a known issue due to the fact GitHub's Search and Linguist are not tightly linked... Search lags behind Linguist.

Support for B4X was added in Linguist v8.0.0 released on Monday and this is why I always add this not to the release PRs like #7021:

NOTE: Search results will not reflect changes and new lanuguages until the upstream internal library is updated to pull in the changes from this release and that then deployed to GitHub's Search.

@lildude It seems like the GitHub Search team has not performed the update for Go-Enry and it's been more than a month since the release. Is there a way to let them know about the update?

[lildude]

Our search team is aware there has been a new Linguist release however they no longer use go-enry so need to make time anround other priorities to update the internal library they now use.

Woah, ok, I guess we'll have to edit the troubleshooting section at some point to include that info.

Looking at GitHub Search results and all the disparities listed here, it seems that the library used for GitHub Search was not updated since v7.26 which was almost 2 years ago.

@jorendorff, are there any intentions to update the list of languages supported by Search in the new internal library you mentioned here? I'm assuming you have to do some pre-processing of the heuristics.yml and languages.yml files, but since we've simplified a lot of regexes since v7.26, that shouldn't be too complicated, I imagine.

Nice to see that search for B4X works now:

It seems that half a year has passed, and it still shows "unknown language". Besides, I have also encountered the same problem. The new languages in other Linguist 9.0.0 haven't been updated either.
