Is there a way to search/filter for unanswered topics in a category? Seems like an FAQ but I haven’t hit on the right keywords.

You can search using this condition `status:unsolved`. And if you want to search topics that don’t have any replies you can use `status:noreplies` search term.

Thanks, that worked. I’ve created an `/unsolved` permalink via Admin → Customize → Permalinks to the relative URL `/search?expanded=false&q=status%3Aunsolved%20%23support`, so now the team can go to that URL and make sure we leave no page unturned 🙂

You can also configure a [filter](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-solved/30155#filters-6) above the topic list
