Depending on ones needs for search, a shout-out to Sourcegraph (https://sourcegraph.com/search) which in addition to offering anonymous search also supports regex searches and -- perhaps most relevant -- "go to symbol" for a huge number of cases. That alone can often save a "search" because it understands the relationships in the text
AIUI previously it required people to be logged in when doing global- or (multi-repo) organisation-scoped searches but would also sometimes show "0" or "?" in results for single repo-scoped searches via "/"--until the "Code" section was clicked.
But with all the A/B testing on sites these days it's entirely possible for two people to have very different site interactions, so... shrug
One month later and GitHub still hasn’t addressed the issue of inability to sort searches by new. This is despite their announcement having hundreds of downvotes and equally as many comments saying the new search is terrible.
no worries. check out https://github1s.com, just s/github/github1s/ on any URL and you will get a read-only VSCode viewer of the repo source code. It also comes with partial support to jump between symbols.
It's painless to use them because they have mapped the routes on sourcegraph.com to the github repo, so things like https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes just magically work
I love them so much
