Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's PowerShell and SQL administration scripts to find how repository search is configured. Trace the existing repository setup path and determine what would need to include forked repositories; done means forked repositories can be searched alongside their parent repository.

Description

I can't enable searching for a forked repository. We use forks in our organization to allow different business units to build features and be merged into the parent repo once approved. We need to be able to search the forks as well.
