Navigate to [search](https://github.com/search) page.\n2. Type a topic keyword.\n3. In the left sidebar, to narrow your search to topics, click **Topics**.\n\n   ![Screenshot of the repository search results page for the search term 'jekyll' with the \"Topics\" option in the left-hand menu outlined in dark orange.](/assets/images/help/search/topic-left-side-navigation-dotcom.png)\n\n## Narrowing your search with search qualifiers\n\nIf you want to explore repositories about a certain topic, find projects to contribute to, or learn which topics are most popular on GitHub, you can search topics with the search qualifiers `is:featured`, `is:curated`, `repositories:n` and `created:YYYY-MM-DD`.\n\nThe `is:featured` search qualifier will narrow search results to the topics with the most repositories on GitHub. These topics are also featured at <https://github.com/topics/>.\n\nThe `is:curated` search qualifier will narrow search results to topics that community members have added extra information to. For more information, see the [explore repository](https://github.com/github/explore).\n\nYou can filter topics based when they were created using the date parameter and `created:` or based on how many repositories are associated with this topic using `repositories:n`. Both of these qualifiers can use the [greater than and less than range qualifiers](/en/search-github/getting-started-with-searching-on-github/understanding-the-search-syntax).\n\nDate formatting must follow the [ISO8601](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) standard, which is `YYYY-MM-DD` (year-month-day). You can also add optional time information `THH:MM:SS+00:00` after the date, to search by the hour, minute, and second. That's `T`, followed by `HH:MM:SS` (hour-minutes-seconds), and a UTC offset (`+00:00`).\n\nWhen you search for a date, you can use greater than, less than, and range qualifiers to further filter results. For more information, see [Understanding the search syntax](/en/search-github/getting-started-with-searching-on-github/understanding-the-search-syntax).\n\n| Qualifier                                | Example                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |\n| ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `is:curated`                             | [**is:curated javascript**](https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93\\&q=javascript+is%3Acurated\\&type=Topics) matches topics that are curated and contain the word \"javascript.\"                                                          |\n| `is:featured`                            | [**is:featured javascript**](https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93\\&q=javascript+is%3Afeatured\\&type=Topics) matches topics that are featured on <https://github.com/topics/> and contain the word \"javascript.\"                       |\n| `is:not-curated`                         | [**is:not-curated javascript**](https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93\\&q=javascript+is%3Anot-curated\\&type=Topics) matches topics that don't have extra information, such as a description or logo, and contain the word \"javascript.\" |\n| `is:not-featured`                        | [**is:not-featured javascript**](https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93\\&q=javascript+is%3Anot-featured\\&type=Topics) matches topics that aren't featured on <https://github.com/topics/> and contain the word \"javascript.\"            |\n| `repositories:n`                         | [**repositories:>5000**](https://github.com/search?q=repositories%3A%3E5000) matches topics that have more than 5000 repositories.                                                                                                        |\n| <code>created:<em>YYYY-MM-DD</em></code> | [**Serverless created:>2019-01-01**](https://github.com/search?q=Serverless+created%3A%3E2019-01-01\\&type=Topics) matches topics with the word \"serverless\" that were created after 2018.                                                 |\n\n## Search repositories by topic\n\nYou can use the `topic:` qualifier to find every repository connected to a particular topic.
