Understanding the search syntax

Query for values greater or less than another value

You can use >, >=, <, and <= to search for values that are greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, and less than or equal to another value.

Query	Example
>n	cats stars:>1000 matches repositories with the word "cats" that have more than 1000 stars.
>=n	cats topics:>=5 matches repositories with the word "cats" that have 5 or more topics.
<n	cats size:<10000 matches code with the word "cats" in files that are smaller than 10 KB.
<=n	cats stars:<=50 matches repositories with the word "cats" that have 50 or fewer stars.

You can also use range queries to search for values that are greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to, another value.

Query	Example
n..*	cats stars:10..* is equivalent to stars:>=10 and matches repositories with the word "cats" that have 10 or more stars.
*..n	cats stars:*..10 is equivalent to stars:<=10 and matches repositories with the word "cats" that have 10 or fewer stars.

Query for values between a range

You can use the range syntax n..n to search for values within a range, where the first number n is the lowest value and the second is the highest value.
