Native Vs Discover

​

Side-By-Side

​

Use Native When

• you want GitHub-like behavior
• you care about plain query semantics
• you want the lightest request path
• you are scripting around a stable upstream-like result set

gitquarry search "rust cli" --sort stars

​

Use Discover When

• one search page is not enough
• you want ranking by activity or quality
• README text should influence final ordering
• you want --explain

gitquarry search "release automation" \
  --mode discover \
  --rank blended \
  --readme \
  --explain

​

Mental Shortcut

• native = “GitHub search from the terminal”
• discover = “broader candidate collection plus explicit local ranking”
