How to search my own Gists

Gists.md

Link to search your gists.

https://gist.github.com/search?q=user%3A%40me&ref=searchresults
Uses @me to refer to itself in the gist search query.

Manually

Type this into Github Gist Search (https://gist.github.com/)

user:BoQsc  your search query

or

@BoQsc  your search query

Custom link and username.

https://gist.github.com/search?q=user:boqsc&ref=searchresults
Replace ?q=user:boqsc with your own username.

Which there was a better search form for gists.

This should jump you to your gists

https://gist.github.com/search?q=user%3ABoQsc

Thank you for sharing, I did this a little easier to use by adding a Chrome custom search engine to address the bar.

Search engine name: anything you like

Keyword: anything you like

URL: https://gist.github.com/search?q=user%3Aerbanku+%s

You need to change the username erbanku to the username you want to search for, enjoy!

Thank you for erbanku for sharing. Surprised this isnt top of the gist web page on gist since so useful. The custom search is very useful. Works same in Microsoft Edge as well using settings->Address bar and search ->Mange search engines->Add . You get similar menu as in chrome where you give the custom search engine a name, a keyword for use in browser to invoke this search engine - I used mg as keyword - and URL as you have shown replacing your username with mine

@user seems to work also in the search:

metrics @pavelfomin
results in: https://gist.github.com/search?q=metrics+%40pavelfomin&ref=searchresults

Damn, gist search is quite useless by default. Thanks for sharing this tip!

Totally agree. This mode (using @me) should be the default or at least they should improve the UI to make these things easier.
