GitHub search autocomplete

A userscript that adds autocomplete search filters to GitHub

  • Searching on GitHub is complicated, and there are over 50 filters to choose from. This userscript makes them a little easier to use.
  • Search filter information obtained from the pages listed on https://help.github.com/categories/search/.
  • If something isn't working, please review GitHub's search documentation linked above.
  • Autocomplete searchs are applied to the following search inputs:
  • To use:
    • Enter ? to get a full list of filters.
    • Press Enter, or click on the filter to choose it.
    • Enter the search term, or press (right arrow) to open up a secondary list of terms & examples.
  • NOTE: Issues do occur when using this userscript along with the Awesome Autocomplete for GitHub browser addon/extension:
    • The popup for this userscript overlaps the Awesome Autocomplete's popup.
    • Pressing Tab or Enter to select a dropdown item in this userscript's dropdown will also select Awesome Autocomplete's current selection and jump to that page. To bypass this problem, click on the selection using your mouse.
  • Click this link to install from GitHub, or install from GreasyFork.
