|
|
|
|
<!-- markdownlint-disable -->
|
|
|
|
| Use | Description | Example |
|
|
|------|-------------|---------|
|
|
| `"` | Exact search | [`"gem sidekiq"`](https://gitlab.com/search?group_id=9970&project_id=278964&scope=blobs&search=%22gem+sidekiq%22) |
|
|
| <code>|</code> | Or | [<code>display | banner</code>](https://gitlab.com/search?group_id=9970&project_id=278964&scope=blobs&search=display+%7C+banner) |
|
|
| `+` | And | [`display +banner`](https://gitlab.com/search?group_id=9970&project_id=278964&repository_ref=&scope=blobs&search=display+%2Bbanner&snippets=) |
|
|

|
|
| `*` | Partial | [`bug error 50*`](https://gitlab.com/search?group_id=9970&project_id=278964&repository_ref=&scope=blobs&search=bug+error+50%2A&snippets=) |
|
|
| `\` | Escape | [`\*md`](https://gitlab.com/search?snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=%5C*md&group_id=9970&project_id=278964) |
|
|
|
|
## Code search
|
|
|
|
| Use | Description | Example |
|
|
|------|-------------|---------|
|
|
| `filename:` | Filename | [`filename:*spec.rb`](https://gitlab.com/search?snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=filename%3A*spec.rb&group_id=9970&project_id=278964) |
|
|
| `path:` | Repository location | [`path:spec/workers/`](https://gitlab.com/search?group_id=9970&project_id=278964&repository_ref=&scope=blobs&search=path%3Aspec%2Fworkers&snippets=) |
|
|
| `extension:` | File extension, without the `.` | [`extension:js`](https://gitlab.com/search?group_id=9970&project_id=278964&repository_ref=&scope=blobs&search=extension%3Ajs&snippets=) |
|
|
| `blob:` | Git object ID | [`blob:998707*`](https://gitlab.com/search?snippets=false&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=blob%3A998707*&group_id=9970) |
|
|
|
|
`extension` and `blob` return exact matches only.
|
|
|
