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 GitHub Enterprise Cloud, 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 GitHub Enterprise Cloud. 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.
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.
Date formatting must follow the ISO8601 standard, which is YYYY-MM-DD (year-month-day). You can also add optional time information THH:MM:SS+00:00 after the date, to search by the hour, minute, and second. That's T, followed by HH:MM:SS (hour-minutes-seconds), and a UTC offset (+00:00).
When you search for a date, you can use greater than, less than, and range qualifiers to further filter results. For more information, see Understanding the search syntax.
