This has been happening since... forever?

I guess code search requires a lot of processing power so they'd rather know who's doing it in case they need to be throttled.

No. It was possible previously. The whole search feature on github seems to have been rewritten recently with several regressions in functionality.

They wrote a pretty interesting blog about the rewrite.

I wasn't aware of the specifics. I was only going by the UX changes. Good to know more detail. Thanks

I stopped being able to do GitHub code search without being logged in several months ago. The search bar would search through open issues; clicking code on the left in the results prompts me to login. Has been this way since at least June.

Yeah, I used to use github to search for codes that I don't remember in what repository I used, by searching for keywords that I can remember, but that doesn't work anymore.
