> improvements to code search
The enshittification related to this feature includes:
(1) Code search is no longer available without being logged in to GitHub--even if the search is restricted to a single repository.
(2) This is compounded by GitHub "recently" started requiring additional steps in the authentication process for certain types of accounts without providing any option to opt-out (e.g. by choosing to restrict the account to being read-only/search-only/issue-only going forward).
There is no dialogue, you accept whatever new restrictions/requirements are put in place or you lose access to the account which you were "convinced" to use to contribute & interact with FLOSS projects over the past N years.
(What other choice do you have? Convincing every single FLOSS project to move from GitHub to...? Good luck!)
