When I go to github, there's a search bar at the top to search for the public repo I'm looking for.

I can't find the search feature at gitlab.com. How do I search for users or public repos of interest at gitlab?

Use explore to search for interesting projects (and the people that have them in their namespace): https://gitlab.com/explore

Press `s` to search for anything. However we only support search for people in places where you immediately need them, like when adding to a project.

I created a feature proposal to also search through people: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13672

Ok. I followed the Explore link, but I cannot find the search field on that page. It seems to only allow me to browse by trending/most-stars/all. Hitting 's' key on my keyboard doesn't seem to change the page in any way. Am I missing the search field?

(Note, this is using Firefox/Iceweasel 44.0.)

I think you must be logged in to see the complete UI (with search field)

Indeed. The search field is currently only displayed for users that have logged in.

Thanks, that doesn't make sense so I made an issue to remedy it https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13676

Update: we'll ship this fix with 8.6. It has just been merged.

Great!
