I discuss methods and current software packages for radio searches for pulsars and short‐duration transients. I then describe the properties of the current pulsar population and the status of and predictions for ongoing and future surveys. The presently observed pulsar population numbers around 2000 and is expected to roughly double over the next five years, with the number of millisecond pulsars expected to more than triple. Finally, I discuss individual objects discovered in the Green Bank Telescope 350‐MHz Drift‐Scan Survey and the Arecibo Pulsar ALFA Survey.
