This page last changed on Feb 17, 2010 by edawson.
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 'Quick Search' box in the top right hand corner of the FishEye screens.

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.

Using the advanced search, you can create your own complex searches using FishEye's powerful query language called EyeQL.
