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 "About searching on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}."

{% if enterpriseServerVersions contains currentVersion %} 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. {% endif %}

{% data reusables.search.syntax_tips %}

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
user:USERNAME	user:codertocat matches packages owned by @codertocat
org:ORGNAME	org:github 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 matches public packages that contain the word "angular"
is:private	is:private php matches private packages that contain the word "php"
