How it works

The File finder feature is powered by theFuzzy filterlibrary.

It implements a fuzzy search with highlight, and tries to provide intuitive results by recognizing patterns that people use while searching.

For example, consider theGitLab CE repositoryand that we want to open theapp / controllers /admin/deploy_keys_controller.rbfile.

Using fuzzy search, we start by typing letters that get us closer to the file.

Protip:To narrow down your search, include/in your search terms.
