Find products
Search for Skills: If you’re looking for items that fit a specific skill, use the search box directly. You can find results that include the exact terms you’re looking for by placing quotation marks around your search terms. For example, “PHP Development” will show projects that have the exact phrase “PHP Development” in the project title. Similarly, to exclude a keyword from the search, use a hyphen (no spaces) before the word. For example, searching for “PHP -development” will only show projects or products that have PHP in their name but not the word development.
Category-based hunting: If you have multiple skills in a category, select a category and subcategory to see all items at once, or items related to that subcategory. For example, if you’re a graphic designer, select Design & Art > Graphic Design and you’ll see all projects related to graphic design, including logo design, page design, brochure design, and more. Saved Searches: If you search for certain items frequently, use Saved Searches to save your searches (keywords, filters, categories, etc.) for later reference.
