githubSearchSUK

I was under the impression that since the page returned 404 after being posted here, they removed the ability to search using these filters, at the very broad range it was used at.

Now the page is back and I'm not sure what to make of it.

It's a SHAME Github is trying to protect its search results.

I am often left in front of this situation when hunting for code using advanced search parameters -- they are preventing people from searching efficiently.

Does anyone know what is their motivation behind this?
