Do you really need to "be able to read and write all public and private repository data"? Compared to a regular search engine, the permissions required are pretty much the same. Both this & regular search engines need to go through a repo's codebase to be even able to give results in the first place. Privacy-wise, they could probably make it better by requiring each repo to be approved before they can be searched, but that would make for a more friction-laden developer UX. The broad permissions are likely just a consequence of not wanting to ask the user every time a new repo is to be searched through.
