Surprised to see this as news as it feels like it's been years at this point. I can scarcely remember when I was last able to search without being logged in. I understand perfectly why this has been done from a business standpoint as it invariably increases 'user engagement' by driving people to become literal users!

  this. that has been my personal experience as i browse github without being logged in for the most part. even searching a specific file name inside the repo has been locked behind the same way.
