Summary

Modal should not show Search all GitLab as an option if user is logged out and global anonymous searches are disabled, this leads to a poor UX experience on search. Users are redirected to an error message that global searches are not allowed

Steps to reproduce

1. load a private browsing session
2. navigate to any gitlab project: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab
3. click search or go to button
4. type in text
5. perform the search by clicking on "in all GitLab" option
6. validate results are not returned, you are redirected to login, and an error is shown

What is the current bug behavior?

Anonymous users are shown an option to search which is not enabled

What is the expected correct behavior?

Anonymous users should only be shown search options which are allowed
