GitHub Search Tip

Mon Feb 02 04:58:26 -0800 2009 by railsdog

GitHub recently made significant changes to their search functionality. I often use their search to look for related projects, such as new Spree extensions. Prior to these changes I would simply search on spree. Now when you do this the default results are IMO less then desirable.

So if you're like me and you just want to find projects containing your search term then I have a tip for you. Just add 'fork:false' to your search and it will exclude all of the forks from your results. This makes it much easier for projects like Spree where there are 60+ forks that you would have to sift through in order to find what you're really looking for.
