What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/search/search?apiVersion=2022-11-28#search-code

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

In the page, there is a sentence:

This endpoint can be used without authentication if only public resources are requested.

I believe this is a piece of text forgotten to be deleted, and the sample request is also wrong. If you try it out, it always gives you status 401, meaning that a token is truly mandatory for this endpoint.

@simonpai A lot of our REST content is auto-generated, so I'll track down who owns this particular endpoint, transfer this issue to an internal one, and ask them to look into it.

Thank you for opening this issue! Updates to this documentation must be made internally. I have copied your issue to an internal issue, so I will close this issue.
