Cannot filter search for image files

What you are seeing

You cannot filter search results to image files. Image is missing from the File Type filter.


#Why it happens

Image is a recognised file type and has its own section in the Github catalogue. It is just not one of the seven options in the File Type filter in search.


#What to do

Use the image section on the Capable → Github catalogue page, or write the CQL condition by hand. The search field does hold the value image.

What happens

Searching public repositories

First page only

Public repository search runs only when you type a query, and only for page one. If you page past it, you see just your own repositories.

Very large amounts of Github content on one page

Large pages

On a page with a very large amount of Github content, Capable may stop recording it for search, and the Github byline can stop appearing on that page.



Found it? Good.
