## About searching for packages
|
|
|
|
You can search for packages globally across all of {% data variables.product.product_name %}, or search for packages within a particular organization. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/search-github/getting-started-with-searching-on-github/about-searching-on-github)."
|
|
|
|
{% ifversion ghes %}
|
|
You can only search for packages on {% data variables.product.product_name %}, not {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, even if {% data variables.product.prodname_github_connect %} is enabled.

## Searching within a user's or organization's packages
|
|
|
|
To find packages owned by a certain user or organization, use the `user` or `org` qualifier.
|
|
|
|
| Qualifier | Example
|
|
| ------------- | -------------
|
|
| <code>user:<em>USERNAME</em></code> | [**`user:codertocat`**](https://github.com/search?q=user%3Acodertocat&type=RegistryPackages) matches packages owned by @codertocat
|
|
| <code>org:<em>ORGNAME</em></code> | [**`org:github`**](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Agithub&type=RegistryPackages) matches packages owned by the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} organization
|
|
|
|
## Filtering by package visibility
|
|
|
|
To filter your search by whether a package is public or private, use the `is` qualifier.
|
|
|
|
| Qualifier | Example |
|
|
| ------------- | -------------
|
|
| `is:public`| [**is:public angular**](https://github.com/search?q=is%3Apublic+angular&type=RegistryPackages) matches public packages that contain the word "angular"
|
|
| `is:private`| [**is:private php**](https://github.com/search?q=is%3Aprivate+php&type=RegistryPackages) matches private packages that contain the word "php"
