The different methods for detecting WR stars in nearby galaxies are reviewed and compared. Each one has its own advantages and drawbacks, and they are complementary rather than competing. Both monochromatic filter imaging and field- or single-object spectroscopy are required for an absolutely safe detection of objects near the limit. The results obtained to-date are shortly reviewed and perspectives are discussed.
