GitHub is only slightly better (in this regard). You can't perform an "advanced search" without logging in.

Still, I'd rather use GitLab ober GitHub.

What advanced search? https://github.com/search/advanced certainly works without signing in.
For repos, sure (which is way better than GitLab's status), but you can't search for line-by-line code.
You can’t search for code across the entire GitHub without signing in. You can search in a single repo just fine. That’s a three orders of magnitude smaller concern. I do research on GitHub in incognito windows daily.
