So I tried the same to search for issues / PRs which are not by dependabot.

Unfortunately there is not "not bot" filter :(

But you can add to the Issues / PullRequests filters -author:app/dependabot which will exclude the given author.

Unfortunately again, it does not support multiple authors as it seems, so if you want to exclude multiple bots or for example on a repository where dependabot-preview is used, you must use the global search in the top left of GitHub and simply add your search query there and select search in this repository - or use advanced search: https://github.com/search/advanced.

is:open is:pr -author:app/dependabot -author:app/dependabot-preview

Replace is:pr with is:issue if you are looking for issues

Direct link, simply add the repo:

https://github.com/search/advanced?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+-author%3Aapp%2Fdependabot+-author%3Aapp%2Fdependabot-preview&type=Issues)
