Agreed. If this is indeed a resource issue and they want to just block crawlers/bots/anonymous users from using lots of resources then perhaps having the old "less resource intense search" for users who aren't logged in and having the new "more resource intense search" for users who are logged in would be an improvement.

Since those are "fixed costs" per repo rather than per search, they'd now be much more expensive per search if they were only used by logged-out users. Pure outside speculation of course.
