# GET /templates/search

Search workspace templates and official Gamma explore templates. With a query, workspace hits rank by title and body text relevance and may fall back to last-edited order.

Search workspace templates and official Gamma explore templates in one request, with optional relevance ranking when you pass `q`.

## Search templates

> Search the caller's workspace templates and the official Gamma explore templates. Returns two lists. With a query, workspace templates use best-effort relevance ranking against title and body text and may fall back to last-edited browse order, while explore templates use their best-effort ranking. An empty query returns both lists in browse order. Workspace browse results use last-edited order, most recent first. Workspace template IDs can be passed as the gammaId to generate-from-template, which validates eligibility at generation time and may reject some templates, such as multi-page or site-bound ones. Explore templates (the official Gamma templates) are not accepted as the gammaId for generate-from-template.

{% hint style="info" %}
Returns `workspaceTemplates` and `exploreTemplates` separately. With `q`, workspace templates rank by best-effort relevance on title and body text and may fall back to last-edited order; `workspaceDegraded` is true when that fallback occurred. Explore templates use their own ranked search. Workspace template IDs can be passed as `gammaId` to [POST /generations/from-template](/generations/create-from-template.md); eligibility is validated at generation time and some templates may be rejected (for example, multi-page or site-bound ones). Explore templates (the official Gamma templates) are not accepted as the `gammaId` for generate-from-template. Omit `q` to browse both lists; use `limit` (1–25) to cap hits per list. Supports `X-API-KEY` or OAuth Bearer token.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developers.gamma.app/management/search-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
