Uses @me to refer to itself in the gist search query.
Type this into Github Gist Search (https://gist.github.com/)
user:BoQsc your search query
or
@BoQsc your search query
https://gist.github.com/search?q=user:boqsc&ref=searchresults
Replace ?q=user:boqsc with your own username.
@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.
Excited to see this works for private ("Secret") gists too 🎉
Hit the same wall. 500 gists over the years and no way to find anything. GitHub search doesn't index gists, and gh gist list --include-content --filter is ~30s on my account, because it's serial API calls.
I scratched it: https://github.com/mattheworiordan/gistgrep -> Local mirror, incremental sync, fzf TUI with ranked previews, and on-device AI summaries via Apple Intelligence.
Search is now sub-100ms once synced
brew install mattheworiordan/tap/gistgrep. macOS only right now (the summary bit uses FoundationModels). Happy to add a Linux port via Ollama if there's interest, please do raise an issue. I hope my little project helps!

Thanks for sharing, will try it.
At the same time, you also can try Gistpad in VS Code and Gisto in Windows (and macOS?)
Just Google search the names.
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
