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.
