GitHub Code Search was introduced in 2021 and made GA in 2023[1][2]. It's an improved version of the previous global search (aka across all repositories).

There must be some sort of IP/browser reputation check going on. For Firefox on Mac, I get this on a private window:

I'm not behind CGNAT and GitHub can pretty much assume that my IP = my user. The code tab you can't see without logging in though.

Was gonna say, try disabling ipv6 if it's on ;)

If there's no login, there aren't great ways to ensure the user has skin in the game. Having a whole ipv4 addr is one, I guess having a whole ipv6 /32 would be equivalent.
