Search is still there https://github.com/search although there is no link to it from the main page: https://github.com . Try and find it if you can! However the search inside a repo is missing now and using site: to search inside a repo doesn't seem to work with Google.

Search inside a repo is still available just append /search to the url.

OTOH, a trend towards self hosted solutions will only make finding projects to explore harder.
Or create the demand for an index/curation platform/search engine, which would be something quite interesting, I think.
This feels like a move away from offering the greatest opensource project hosting site to a walled garden. I was just browsing some repository and found a non linked reference to another project which probably is also on Github but there is no way of searching for it when I'm not logged in (and knowing the search URL somebody posted earlier). Pretty big UI fail and I wonder if this was intentional and if so if they t…
I feel like this is a part of a trend that reflects how github itself is changing - slowly making access to things harder, then finally removing it. Github used to have an awesome and public way to explore projects ( http://web.archive.org/web/20130730125837/https://github.com... ) - I remember using it a lot to look for projects to learn to read code because it allowed me to easily find projects by language. They re…
Not quite sure if I understand which specific thing you are mentioning, but does https://github.com/trending happen to be what you want?
Maybe it's to protect people who've accidentally included secrets in their repos from automated searching to hack their AWS accounts?
Doing search well is computationally hard. More than that, it's next to impossible to cache for because there can be so many variants. All-in-all, it's the ideal sort of system to attack if you want to DDoS somebody.
Making people sign in is a tiny barrier to entry that stops anons hammering their system with uncacheable search requests.
Yes, there's probably also a business-marketing argument that goes into this but if that's the sort of trade-off we need to keep Github free for open source, indefinitely, I'm all for it.
And again, this is still free so stop being babies. If you don't like it you're very free to clone the repos out and search them yourselves. Want your anons to be able to search your stuff? Host it yourself and manage your own DDoSes.
Facepalm . In this thread: A lot of overreaction from a lot of people who seem to expect the moon on a stick (for free) and who I could easily suspect have never had to run a resource-intensive system before.

Is this a new change? I was really annoyed by this today when trying to navigate a repository on mobile. Pretty annoying.
