GH-SEARCH-ISSUES(1)	       GitHub CLI manual	   GH-SEARCH-ISSUES(1)

NAME
       gh-search-issues	- Search for issues

SYNOPSIS
       gh search issues	[<query>] [flags]

DESCRIPTION
       Search for issues on GitHub.

       The  command supports constructing queries using	the GitHub search syn-
       tax, using the parameter	and qualifier flags, or	a combination  of  the
       two.

       GitHub search syntax is documented at:

       <https://docs.github.com/search-github/searching-on-github/search-
       ing-issues-and-pull-requests>

       On  supported GitHub hosts, advanced issue search syntax	can be used in
       the --search query. For more information	about advanced	issue  search,
       see:

       <https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/us-
       ing-issues/filtering-and-searching-issues-and-pull-requests#build-
       ing-advanced-filters-for-issues>

       For  more  information  on handling search queries containing a hyphen,
       run gh search --help.
