# gt-search-issue(1)

Search issues

## NAME

gt-search-issue - Search issues

## SYNOPSIS

**gt search issue \[\<query\>...\] \[flags\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Search the issues of every repository you can access on the instance, or of one repository with --repo. Words of the query match titles and bodies. Filters combine: a result must match all of them. Several --label names require --repo, as instance-wide search would return issues with any of them.
