This page last changed on Feb 15, 2011 by jhinch.
FishEye allows you a number of ways to search through the repository to find particular changesets or files. Methods of searching are described below: Quick NavQuick Nav results appear as soon as you start typing into the 'Quick Search' box in FishEye, before you've pressed Enter to visit the full page of search results. Results are weighted by most recent edit date; files edited within the last twelve months are given greater weighting. Quick Nav supports the following powerful search features: CamelCase detection Multiple directory selection common/final/Actions to find a path like this: /src/common/eu/systemworks/specialprojects/final/Actions.java Results constrained to one repository Screenshot: Quick Nav in FishEye Quick SearchTo use this search, enter your search term in the 'Search' box in the top right hand corner of the FishEye screens and hit the <return> key.

Searching within directories Quick Search supports AntGlobs to make searching within a specific directory easy. The following query: /src/**/gwt/*.xml will return all files with a .xml suffix that are below both a src and a gwt directory. Searching for discrete strings "Code Monkey" ![]()
Cross-repository searching has a 100 repository limitation on searches, to prevent it from becoming unresponsive and consuming server resources on FishEye instances that have large numbers of repositories. This means that cross-repository quicksearch is not an exhaustive search, and may not include all repositories in a large Fisheye instance. For exhaustive searches, you should limit your search to a particular repository, if possible. Advanced SearchTo access the advanced search screen, click the 'Search' sub-tab when browsing a repository, or the link directly on the Quick Search page.

You can choose to include any or all of the following fields in the results:
The results are shown in a tabular format. You can link to the search results, and you can save the results to a CSV file. Advanced Search - EyeQLIn some circumstances the results of a simple search may not be specific enough. Using the advanced search, you can create your own complex searches using FishEye's powerful query language called EyeQL. Screenshot: FishEye Advanced Search To do an advanced search, click the 'Switch to EyeQL Search' link found at the bottom of the Simple Search screen.
