They also recently(?) silently destroyed[1] their public search index at sourcegraph.com/search. Since GitHub only recently got a working search and even that is behind login, I used to search a lot using Sourcegraph. It even supported searching GitLab.

Now it seems that all GitLab repos are gone from the index and a huge number of GitHub repos as well. If I can't trust the search I'll just have no choice but to fall back to GitHub.

It's a shame since their index was at some point even better than GitHub's own, although GitHub seems to have caught up.

https://grep.app/ is another good one. Not sure how many repos they index though.
