Search a forked repo in GitHub

I am trying to search on github with search string @mozilla/togetherjs. But it doesn't fetch any result. Is there any reason for this?

UPDATE:
GitHub mentions,

To grab a list of a user's or organization's repositories, you can use the familiar @user/repo syntax.

For jquery(or any other repo) this works fine, but for togetherJS this doesn't show up any results. Below are the two screenshots:

for @jquery/jquery

GitHub search for @jquery/jquery

for @mozilla/togetherjs

GitHub search for @mozilla/togetherjs

How do I find a forked repo?

Clicking the number of forks shows you the full network. From there you can click "members" to see who forked the repo. Example for ExpressJS: https://github.com/expressjs/express/network/members.

The repository mozilla/togetherjs is a fork of simonwex/towtruck. To include forks in search results, you have to add a fork:true search filter to your query.

So, this should give you the results you want:
