I wish they didn't switch to requiring a login to search code... seems like a big privacy issue cause you just know they're saving all those searches and associating it with your account.

That’s a fair point. I’ve always assumed it was a form of rate-limiting, but you’re right, that’ll be part of their analytics at least

The new technology is: show a message saying "Whoaa! You have busted your limit!" on every search.

I didn't do a search for 6 months, but whhooaaa! Calm down with your searches!
