# search: address PR review — repo scoping, HasFilters, JSON invariant

`7ef3a57`→[main](/content/gh/entireio/cli/commits/main/index.html)·

alishakawaguchi·1mo ago·3 files·+59 added/-7 removed

- toQuery: an explicit owner/name repo filter now scopes the search even when --all-repos is also set (the more specific filter wins) instead of being silently ignored.
- Config.HasFilters now counts AllRepos, so `entire search --all-repos --json` with an empty query produces JSON instead of opening the TUI.
- Result.UnmarshalJSON clears the typed payload pointers before decoding so a reused Result keeps the "exactly one non-nil" invariant.
- Correct the stale "fetch the maximum" comment (it fetches DefaultLimit).
