## About using the new code search (beta)
Upon getting access to the new code search beta, GitHub will index any repositories you own and any repositories in organizations you are a member of, whether public, private, or internal. This means that you can search across all of your repositories, in addition to the public repositories on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} that have already been indexed. Only users with permission to view your code on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} will be able to see your code in search results. Forks are indexed and searchable in the same way as other repositories.

Only users with permission to view your code on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} will be able to see your code in search results. Forks are indexed and searchable in the same way as other repositories.
Not all code is indexed, and you can currently only search the default branches of repositories. For more information on known limitations, see "[AUTOTITLE](/search-github/github-code-search/about-github-code-search#limitations)."
The new code search beta is integrated within the new code view beta. {% data reusables.search.code-view-link %}
## Using the search bar
On top of the new code search engine, the beta includes an upgraded search interface on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}. Using suggestions, completions, and saved searches, you can quickly find what you are looking for, often without having to fully type a query or view the search results page.

## Using the search results view
The search results view already exists for the classic search on GitHub, and the functionality for most search types, except code, is the same. With the new code search beta enabled, the search results page has a redesigned UI and includes filters that are supported in the new code search engine, such as path and symbol filters.
To construct a search query, as well as view and filter results, using a visual interface, you can use the {% data variables.search.search_page_url %} or {% data variables.search.advanced_url %}. If you press Enter after typing a search query in the search bar, you will also be taken to the search results view.
On the search results view, you can navigate between different types of search results, including code, issues, pull request, repositories, and more. You can also view and use filters.
