Search in Issues feature gone from GitHub?


Not sure when it happened, before the change or after, but I'm not able to find a search box for searching in issues anymore. Has it been relocated, or it's gone?


Solution

  • Any search you do in the main search field (preceded with "This repository") when you are in a GitHub repo page will return:

    • result in code
    • and issues

    Note: The shortcut / will focus on the search field and search within the context of a repository.
    Note: that shortcut doesn't work with a french keyboard on Firefox. And it only works if I type ':' (again on a French Keyboard) in Chrome. So your mileage may vary. With US locale, this should work fine.

    add search

    Note that in 2022 (9 years later), there is a command palette, and you can customize the keyboard shortcuts.
