In the path:go.mod code search the go.mod files are classified and highlighted as AMPL files:

Yet, using a more specific query path:go.mod language:"Go Module" the files are classified as Go Module files and highlighted correctly:

If go.mod files are being misclassified as AMPL in code search, it's likely due to a language detection issue where the syntax is mistakenly identified. To resolve this, you can consider the following steps: Improve Language Detection: If you're using a code search tool, check if it allows configuring or improving language detection rules. You might be able to update the detection patterns to better recognize files as Go-related instead of AMPL. File Type Overrides: Some tools allow manual overrides kinemaster mod apk for file type detection. If available, you can explicitly mark go.mod files as Go files. Update Search Tool: Ensure you're using the latest version of your code search tool, as updates may include fixes for such misclassification issues. Report the Issue: If the problem persists, consider reporting it to the maintainers of the code search tool so they can address the misclassification in a future update.

@micha-6 , thank you for your reply! We already discussed the problem with GitHub Linguist maintainers here and concluded that the problem is in GitHub's closed source code. The language detection tool works correctly.

I was recommended to report the issue on this forum.

@goto1134 thank you for the detailed report.

I recently rolled out an indexing change that improves the results for go.mod files. The instances you reported are due to a combination of misclassification and how the search index deduplicates content. Only one classification was allowed per unique content. There is still some misclassification because it is based on heuristics, but now each unique path has its own classification. Therefore, the problems should be significantly reduced.
