How to use it

Search by text

By default, search looks for the keywords from your query. For example, searching preschool director will return all the books that contain the word "preschool" and "director"

Exclude results containing a certain word

You can also narrow your search results by excluding words with the NOT syntax. Searching for Hello returns a massive number of "Hello World" projects, but changing your search to include hello NOT world returns fewer results.

Query for values less/greater than another value

You can use > or >= to indicate "greater than" and "greater than or equal to," respectively. For example, the following search queries are equivalent: cats stars:">10" and cats stars:">= 11" You can use < and <= to indicate "less than" and "less than or equal to," respectively.
