Edit:

Since theres been some confusion with dates

In 2016 github made site side searching login only and hid the search bar if you werent logged in. This didnt include searching within a repository so that could still be done, just not all repositories

This year was the change being referred to in this link which made repository level searching require logging in

    Honestly, I can't wait for Forgejo to implement federation. Gitlab might do so too after Forgejo shows that it's possible and gets a major following. They already are letting one external dude implement it after having slept on it for a good decade.
