If folks want to continue searching open source, https://sourcegraph.com/search does not require sign in and also includes major projects that are not on GitHub.

Thank you. I don't want to sign into my personal github account on my work computer, so I always use sourcegraph if I need to search a repo.

I remember longing for the ability for github's search to rival git clone + grep, but I never expected a login wall to come with it. IIRC I expected the login wall to just be because the feature was in beta and would be removed when it became the primary search.

Why did you decide to allow search without a sign in but not for cody?
