VisualSVN Server includes a full-text search feature, which you can try out
on our demo server <https://demo-server.visualsvn.com/>. You can see for
yourself how fast it is. Here's an example:

<http://goog_885615415>
https://demo-server.visualsvn.com/!/#asf/search/head/subversion/trunk?q=3Df=
ilename%3A*.c%20content%3A%22int%20main%22&type=3Dcontents

https://demo-server.visualsvn.com/!/#asf/search/head/subversion/trunk?q=3Dc=
make&type=3Dhistory
