Awesome Autocomplete for GitHub

If you feel that GitHub's search function is a bit "pragmatic," then you will surely find Awesome Autocomplete for GitHub nothing short of interesting.

In just a few words, this useful Google Chrome extension significantly improves GitHub's search function by allowing you to instantly search for people, issues, and both public and private repositories.

It can be installed with no more than a single mouse click from its official Chrome Web Store page, and it does not require any type of configuration or another sort of attention on your part.

As expected, it makes its presence known by smoothly integrating with Chrome toolbar, but it's only when you search for something on GitHub that you will be able to see exactly what this tiny extension has to offer.

Basically, on any typical search, you will be provided with a relevant list of repositories, like the top public repositories, a list of the most active users, as well as your private repositories and any issues connected to your GitHub account.

To be fair, the extension's highlight mainly stems from the fact that you can search for users like never before by locating them based on a wider set of information like name, or the company they work for.

That said, whether you're looking for a simple way of exploring new content on GitHub or you're just to improve the way you can locate users and your private repositories on GitHub, this extension is definitely worthy of your attention.

One small disadvantage could be the fact that Awesome Autocomplete for GitHub does not yet feature support for GitHub Enterprise, but other than that, there's really nothing we can reproach.
