How to search all repo in Github while in another repo?

Question

I think Github changed the search bar functionality.
Now when I type anything into the search bar, it defaults to searching within the repo that I'm browsing.

I want to search the entire Github in this case.

Unfortunately your request doesn't seems to be possible^[1] without any extension or script that will change GitHub's functionality.

• It's not new at all, I don't remember how long it's that way - but not from lately.
• The options you have are:
  • Search in the repo and then click the "view all results.." to search entire GitHub.

    N code results in X/Y or view all results on GitHub

  • Go to the homepage or navigate to the search page.
  • Write an extension/script that will alter this behavior for you.

You can read more about this on this article:

• About searching on GitHub

^[1] As I wrote, you might develop a small thing that will alter this behavior for you, but it doesn't seem to be possible just with GitHub.
