There is a search function at
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/query/advanced/>, but I
agree that the discoverability in an install with as many repos as
Wikimedia hosts is pretty poor. This seems like something that an
enterprising individual could think about a bit and then discuss
upstream [0]. Phacility only hosts 7 repos so they all fit nicely on
one screen and I imagine that Facebook has a relatively small number
of repos as well due to the basic UI design. One idea that could be
floated would be some ajax powered typeahead filtering similar to
Gerrit's project view. (OMG did I just suggest that Gerrit's UI
actually does something well?)
