Search

daily.dev’s search is your go-to way to explore the platform. Whether you’re looking for a specific post, a trusted source, trending tags, or other developers — it’s all just a few keystrokes away.

info

We’ve sunset our AI-powered search due to low adoption. Like any good startup experiment, it taught us a lot. We're using those learnings to build even better experiences ahead — stay tuned.

What you can search for​

Here’s what you can search for using the search bar at the top of the page or via Cmd+K / Ctrl+K:

Content (posts)​

  • Instantly search for posts matching your query.
  • Results are sorted by relevance, helping you discover tutorials, news, comparisons, product launches, and more.

Tags​

  • If your search term matches a tag, it’ll appear with a hashtag (e.g. #react).
  • Clicking it takes you to a dedicated tag page sorted by:
    1. Top-voted posts
    2. Best discussions
    3. Everything else

Sources​

  • Looking for content from a specific blog, newsletter, or YouTube channel? Search for the source name.
  • Sources appear with a custom icon. Clicking opens the source page with the latest posts, ordered by engagement.

Users​

  • Search by handle or name to find developers on daily.dev.
  • Discover their activity, Squads, reading streaks, and shared posts.

Squads​

  • Search for Squads by name or topic.
  • Join and engage with communities that match your interests.

Search results view​

We’ve revamped the search interface to give you a cleaner, faster way to find what matters. When you search, you’ll see:

  • Main column: Relevant posts
  • Right sidebar: Matching tags, sources, and Squads
  • Lower section: Developers who have mentioned the term

Everything is just a scroll away — no extra clicks needed.

Tips for better results​

  • Use specific keywords (e.g. vite vs webpack, not just bundler)
  • Try searching by tag (e.g. #typescript) for broader discovery
  • Looking for people? Use their handle or full name

What’s next​

We’re not done. Search is a core pillar of the daily.dev experience, and we’re constantly evolving it. Future updates will bring smarter filtering, better personalization, and even deeper integration into your developer journey.
