Running the query
-----------------
.. include:: ../reusables/vs-code-basic-instructions/find-database.rst
#. In the main search box on LGTM.com, search for the project you want to query. For tips, see `Searching <https://lgtm.com/help/lgtm/searching>`__.
Running a quick query
---------------------
#. Click the project in the search results.
.. include:: ../reusables/vs-code-basic-instructions/run-quick-query-1.rst
#. Click **Query this project**.
This opens the query console. (For information about using this, see `Using the query console <https://lgtm.com/help/lgtm/using-query-console>`__.)

Note
Alternatively, you can go straight to the query console by clicking **Query console** (at the top of any page), selecting **Go** from the **Language** drop-down list, then choosing one or more projects to query from those displayed in the **Project** drop-down list.
#. Copy the following query into the text box in the query console:

The name of the project you are querying, and the ID of the most recently analyzed commit to the project, are listed below the query box. To the right of this is an icon that indicates the progress of the query operation:
If any matching code is found, click a link in the ``w`` column to view it in the code viewer.

.. pull-quote::
Note
Your query is always run against the most recently analyzed commit to the selected project.
The query will take a few moments to return results. When the query completes, the results are displayed below the project name. The query results are listed in two columns, corresponding to the two expressions in the ``select`` clause of the query. The first column corresponds to ``w``, which is the location in the source code where the receiver ``recv`` is modified. The second column is the alert message.

An ellipsis (…) at the bottom of the table indicates that the entire list is not displayed—click it to show more results.
#. If any matching code is found, click a link in the ``w`` column to view it in the code viewer.
The matching ``w`` is highlighted with a yellow background in the code viewer. If any code in the file also matches a query from the standard query library for that language, you will see a red alert message at the appropriate point within the code.
