Yii is a PHP web application framework.
About 5,831 websites in the PageSourceSearch index contain the code that reveals it; the 50 highest-ranked are listed below.
How is Yii detected?
Yii 2 layouts call Html::csrfMetaTags(), which writes a csrf-param meta tag whose content is _csrf (or _csrf-frontend in the advanced template). The discovery keyword is the exact bytes PageSourceSearch looks for in every stored page and script:
A literal is matched byte for byte, case-sensitively. Combine it with another keyword, a domain, a kind or a date filter on the search page to narrow the list. About Yii

How does PageSourceSearch know a website uses Yii?
By the source itself: Yii 2 layouts call Html::csrfMetaTags(), which writes a csrf-param meta tag whose content is _csrf (or _csrf-frontend in the advanced template). PageSourceSearch stores the raw HTML and first-party JavaScript of each crawled site and matches the keyword byte for byte, so every listed site's stored source contains it.
Is this a complete list of websites using Yii?
No. The page lists the 50 highest-ranked sites in the index whose source holds the keyword, out of about 5,831 websites that do; the count is the index's estimate at the time the list was computed. Run the keyword as a search to page through all of them, or add a kind or date filter.
How do I find websites that use Yii together with another technology?
Search for both keywords at once: several terms separated by spaces must all be found on the same site, or with the Same page toggle in the same page. For example name="csrf-param" content="_csrf with wp-content/plugins/ lists the WordPress sites that use Yii.
