Comment on GitHub: Can no longer search code without being logged in

  You used the wrong search bar, you just used the one for the file list.

  The fact that one of the excuses for GitHub search results being subpar is that there is a right and a wrong search bar is already telling.

    The fact you call it “search results being subpar” tell me you never used the big top search bar labeled “Type / to search”.
    You can’t make an interface that everyone will understand, there will always be a percentage of user who will be lost.

        If you used the top search bar, there was always this tab selection.
        The looks changed a few month ago, but the featureset was visually the same.
