Thank you Sumana! I know a lot more about searching in gerrit now, which helps a lot in
general :)
Cheers,
Markus

Hi all,
I am trying to find a (any) html file in gerrit (trying to find out
whether it is displayed as HTML in a browser, but that is not the
issue here…). When I enter “html” in the search box, it apparently
searches commit messages for html (?). When I try the search syntax as
described here [1], I get an invalid query error. Is there any
documentation on what search operators I can use or how the search
works in general? Any hints are greatly appreciated :)
Cheers,
Markus

Hi, Markus. I looked for the search syntax in the Gerrit docs -- by the way, you should
probably be looking in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/user-search.html since
that is congruent with our installation of Gerrit, version 2.4.2. I found the
"file:^REGEX" operator, with the note:
"Currently this operator is only available on a watched project and may not be used
in the search bar."
I'm sorry for the trouble. For your purpose, I suggest you create a quick HTML page
and commit it into the test/mediawiki/extensions/examples repository.
The search examples in the Gerrit documentation are fairly useful. A few searches I often
use:
* status: and project: search, as in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:open+project:^mediawiki.*,n,z
and
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:open+project:mediawiki/extensions…
* "what patchsets haven't gotten reviewed yet?" search:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/-CodeReview%252B1+-CodeReview%252B2+-Cod…
* owner: search, as in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/owner:preilly,n,z or
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:merged+-owner:L10n-bot,n,z
(using minus to exclude localization bot commits)
* searching commit messages, as in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/message:performance,n,z
