  I doesn't need a login from me. Would be pretty bad if they would, no love for instagithub.

    When doing the search, the number of results for code is not listed. Instead a '?' is shown. The submission removed the url parameters. Here's a full example: https://github.com/search?q=boilingfrog&type=code Perhaps the behavior depends on the user IP address. $ curl 'https://github.com/search?q=boilingfrog&type=code' <html><body>You are being <a href="https://github.com/login?return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dboilingfrog%26type%3Dcode">redirected</a>.</body></html>

        Ah, indeed. https://github.com/search?q=boilingfrog&ref=simplesearch https://github.com/search?q=boilingfrog&ref=simplesearch nets results, but you are correct when we talk about code search. Damn, this is moving backwards again... fitting search term. People should start to host their projects on alternative sites.
