GitHub – How to Search Label by First Characters

githubsearch

I'm on GitHub. I can search like this:

https://github.com/jenstornell/kirby-plugins/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Type%3A+Plugin%22

The query looks like this:

is:issue is:open label:"Type: Plugin"

Now many labels contains the word Type: in the beginning. Can I match just the first characters to match issues that has tags like Type: Plugin and Type: Core?

Best Answer

Unfortunately there is no wildcard search for labels on GitHub:
https://help.github.com/articles/searching-issues-and-pull-requests/#search-by-label

Additionally there is also unfortunately no way to combine several label: filters with OR, so if you know the list of labels you are looking for, you can not even construct a string that includes them all as this will only search for issues containing both labels.
