Try:
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=gpg-signature+path%3Adebian%2Fsource%2Flintian-overrides
which works for me right now.
The only differences I see between this and your second URL above are A:
the use of the correct path ("source" instead of "sources"), and B: the
use of 'gpg-signature' instead of 'gpg signature'.
If I drop the 'gpg-signature' part from this search term, I get the same
error you got. I'm guessing that that's because there's no actual search
term for *within* the file, and the search engine isn't going to report
the entire file; if I'm right, that would be the other reason the first
URL you gave doesn't find anything, aside from the path typo.
