1/9/2018: Whoops! This post is out of date. For more information on searching repositories on GitHub, check out our documentation.

Today we are allowing you to search your own public repositories and any private repositories you have access to.

In an effort to simplify our search, we’ve consolidated our search boxes into one. There’s no need to look around anymore for the search box: it’s always at the top.
