I notice in many instances Github showing an error.

We could not perform this search: Must include at least one user, organization, or repository

But if you change anything in the URL, it works again. Such as adding &p=2, which lucideer tried. But I got the error on his link. So I changed it to p=3, and it worked.

So I'm guessing Github has an autodetection for a particular global code search getting high hits (for something like this, I assume) that locks people out.

Seems more like a band-aid on a broken leg, though.

Wow very interesting indeed, same behavior for me. Definitely makes me curious about the implementation details of Github's search feature.
