## Searching for releases in a repository

You can search a repository's releases.

{% data reusables.repositories.navigate-to-repo %}
{% data reusables.repositories.releases %}
1. At the top of the page, in the "Find a release" field, type your query and press **Enter**.

## Search syntax for searching releases in a repository

You can provide text in your search query which will be matched against the title, body, and tag of the repository's releases. You can also combine the following qualifiers to target specific releases.

| Qualifier        | Example
| ------------- | -------------
| `draft:true` | **draft:true** will only match draft releases.
| `draft:false` | **draft:false** will only match published releases.
| `prerelease:true` | **prerelease:true** will only match pre-releases.
| `prerelease:false` | **prerelease:false** will only match releases that are not pre-releases.
| <code>tag:<em>TAG</em></code> | **tag:v1** matches a release with the v1 tag and any minor or patch versions within v1, such as v1.0, v1.2, and v1.2.5.
| <code>created:<em>DATE</em></code> | **created:2021** will match releases created during 2021. You can also provide date ranges. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/search-github/getting-started-with-searching-on-github/understanding-the-search-syntax#query-for-dates)."
