Search in Issues feature gone from GitHub?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

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

Answer 2

When browsing a repository, you can use the "/" shortcut (just type the character) to easily search issues (as well as the code.) There are a lot of really helpful shortcuts (i.e. "gi", which transports you to a repos issues list.)

Type "?" to get a list of shortcuts for a particular context.
