Gist search not possible anymore

[madhums]

Gist search used to display a dropdown of results when I entered some text from my own gists. Now it is impossible to search my own gists. Is there some alternative to click every page out of hundreds to find something I am looking for in my own gist?

Very frustrating that this feature was removed.

You can still lookup your gists using for example user:dotspencer python to find my gists with "python" but it's such a pain compared to how simple it was before.

Yea indeed, but glad this works although a bit more painfully.

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!
