### Search {% data variables.product.product_name %} for topics
|
|
|
|
You can search for topics on {% data variables.product.product_name %}, explore related topics, and see how many repositories are associated with a certain topic.
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to https://github.com/search.
|
|
2. Type a topic keyword.
|
|
|
|
3. In the left sidebar, to narrow your search to topics, click **Topics**.
|
|
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
|
|
### Narrowing your search with search qualifiers
|
|
|
|
If you want to explore repositories about a certain topic, find projects to contribute to, or learn which topics are most popular on {% data variables.product.product_name %}, you can search topics with the search qualifiers `is:featured`, `is:curated`, `repositories:n` and `created:YYYY-MM-DD`.
|
|
|
|
The `is:featured` search qualifier will narrow search results to the topics with the most repositories on {% data variables.product.product_name %}. These topics are also featured at https://github.com/topics/.
|
|
|
|
The `is:curated` search qualifier will narrow search results to topics that community members have added extra information to. For more information, see the [explore repository](https://github.com/github/explore).
|
|
|
|
You can filter topics based when they were created using the date parameter and `created:` or based on how many repositories are associated with this topic using `repositories:n`. Both of these qualifiers can use the [greater than and less than range qualifiers](/articles/understanding-the-search-syntax).
