## 2. Search for Duplicates
[Search the existing issues](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue) before logging a new one.
[Search the existing issues](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/search?type=Issues) before logging a new one.
Some search tips:
* *Don't* restrict your search to only open issues. An issue with a title similar to yours may have been closed as a duplicate of one with a less-findable title.
* Check for synonyms. For example, if your bug involves an interface, it likely also occurs with type aliases or classes.
* Search for the title of the issue you're about to log. This sounds obvious but 80% of the time this is sufficient to find a duplicate when one exists.
* Read more than the first page of results. Many bugs here use the same words so relevancy sorting is not particularly strong.
* If you have a crash, search for the first few topmost function names shown in the call stack.
