GitHub - where are my stars?

I have a hard time finding the Narwhal repo on GitHub if I search for it using tags. Other repos with thousands of stars are better placed in the search results. Poor Narwhal has something like only 8 stars total. So I just looked at an "nlp"  project that had 1.4K stars and it was a list of links to documents and source code on nlp.
Really? That is 2 orders of magnitude more stars than Narwhal and zero independent content. I think this shows that stars are only one metric and GitHub [Microsoft are you listening] should provide other ranking methods.
