@knutwannheden Thanks for writing in, and sorry for the difficulty you are having. This feature is actually already supported, unfortunately the syntax is a bit wonky due to the implementation.
You can use
gh search repos --archived=falseandgh search repos --archived=trueto achieve what you are trying to do.I think we can improve the documentation here and indicate that the
=sign is necessary and that invocations such asgh search repos --archived falsewill not work. Perhaps an example using the--archivedflag.Reacted by rdonkin-attestCan we have the same for

Currently the
gh search repos --archivedis documented as "Filter based on archive state". It does indeed allow to filter on archived repos, but I think it would be really nice if it could also be used to exclude any archived repos, by using it as--archived false, similar to how it is described in the linked documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-for-repositories#search-based-on-whether-a-repository-is-archived
