Advanced Search (PREMIUM)

Moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.

You can use Advanced Search for faster, more efficient search across the entire GitLab instance. Advanced Search is based on Elasticsearch, a purpose-built full-text search engine you can horizontally scale to get results in up to a second in most cases.

You can find code you want to update in all projects at once to save maintenance time and promote innersourcing.

You can use Advanced Search in:

  • Projects
  • Issues
  • Merge requests
  • Milestones
  • Users
  • Epics (in groups only)
  • Code
  • Comments
  • Commits
  • Project wikis (not group wikis)
  • On GitLab.com, Advanced Search is enabled for groups with paid subscriptions.
  • For self-managed GitLab instances, an administrator must configure Advanced Search.

Syntax

See Advanced Search syntax for more information.

Search by ID

  • To search by issue ID, use the # prefix followed by the issue ID (for example, #23456).
  • To search by merge request ID, use the ! prefix followed by the merge request ID (for example, !23456).
