Scope: wiki_blobs (PREMIUM)
Moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.
This scope is available only if Elasticsearch is enabled.
Filters are available for this scope:
- filename
- path
- extension
To use a filter, include it in your query. For example: a query filename:some_name*.
You may use wildcards (*) to use glob matching.
Wiki blobs searches are performed on both filenames and contents. Search results:
- Found in filenames are displayed before results found in contents.
- May contain multiple matches for the same blob because the search string might be found in both the filename and content, or might appear multiple times in the content.
