How to search for an organization in github via browser

Is there a way I can search for an organization (with or, without wildcard) in github via browser? Say, I want to list all the organizations starting with the word "Finance". In reality, unless I know the exact name of the organization (e.g., Finance-mydepartment-java) I can not find it via browser. I have to type exactly the name (https://github.com/Finance-mydepartment-java), but it seems I can NOT search with the starting phrase "Finance".

When you are in the github.com page, if you enter your text (verify that the placeholder display Search Github, otherwise type the delete key once in the search field to search globally), you will be able to find the result in the result tab 'Users' because an Organization is seen as a user.

It works well for me...

But if you search 'Finance' on GitHub, you will find a lot of mess ;)

Or you could use the advanced search: https://github.com/search/advanced
