Body

I want to find a file by its name within my repositories. I tried this query:

path:/(^|\/)\.gitignore$/ user:blablaalb

, but it didn't return anything.

Note the repositories section doesn't support path qualifier. it just returns all my repositories regardless if they match the query.

Changing user to owner didn't do anything.
The path qualifier works, because If I remove the user qualifier it returns results from across all github repositories.
How do I narrow down the search to only my repositories?

---

If my search query is correct I think it might probably means my repositories are not indexed by GitHub.

owner:blablaalb path:/(^|/).gitignore$/

[emirhanyagci]

and dont forget you shuld check repos section dont stay in the code section (can you submit answer if i fix)

The repos section doesn't support path qualifier, it returns all repositories regardless if they match the query. The path:readme.md user:blablaalb query returned only one result, even though I have several repositories with the readme.md file. It probably means my repositories are not indexed by GitHub.

You are probably right in that it is your repositories not being indexed by Github. Typing that for me returns all my ReadMe's while it only returns one for you.
