GitHub doesn't show search field unless you sign in

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.

Thanks. Why did remove it from the UI?

This really makes it difficult to work when you switch between machines, for example switching to a coworker's

machine that doesn't necessarily have a github account or is not logged in.

I use 2FA and it's really disruptive to force a login when your intention is to perform a few quick search requests.
