GitHub search is not very good, i.e. it is not possible to order the results. Is there an alternative searching facility to search github?

Thanks, but i was hoping for a website that improved the search using github's api?

Ok, i have put a proof of concept together, let me know what you think.

It will allow simple sorting of all the main columns, forks, watchers, activity, project name etc...

Seems good and surprisingly fast. There are some improvements I'd suggest: make column headers clickable and sort by clicked column, make search results bookmarkable by actually exposing search request in the address bar.

Thanks for the ideas, i have added them to the next release on github project issue tracker https://github.com/eddiejaoude/github-a ... state=open. There are more ideas added, like new project notifier etc..

Hopefully it will be useful to other developers.
