+# Advanced Global Search **[STARTER ONLY]**
+
+> - [Introduced][ee-109] in GitLab [Starter][ee] 8.4.
+> - This is the user documentation. To install and configure Elasticsearch,
+>   visit the [administrator documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/elasticsearch.html).
+
+NOTE: **Note**
+Advanced Global Search (powered by Elasticsearch) is not yet available on GitLab.com. We are working on adding it. [Follow this epic for the latest updates](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/153).
+
+Leverage Elasticsearch for faster, more advanced code search across your entire
+GitLab instance.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Advanced Global Search in GitLab is a powerful search service that saves
+you time. Instead of creating duplicate code and wasting time, you can
+now search for code within other teams that can help your own project.
+
+GitLab leverages the search capabilities of [Elasticsearch] and enables it when
+searching in:
+
+- GitLab application
+- Projects
+- Repositories
+- Commits
+- Issues
+- Merge requests
+- Milestones
+- Notes (comments)
+- Snippets
+- Wiki
+
+## Use cases
+
+The Advanced Global Search can be useful in various scenarios.
+
+### Faster searches
+
+If you are dealing with huge amount of data and want to keep GitLab's search
+fast, the Advanced Global Search will help you achieve that.
+
+### Promote innersourcing
+
+Your company may consist of many different developer teams each of which has
+their own group where the various projects are hosted. Some of your applications
+may be connected to each other, so your developers need to instantly search
+throughout the GitLab instance and find the code they search for.
+
+## Searching globally
+
+Just use the search as before and GitLab will show you matching code from each
+project you have access to.
+
+![Advanced Global Search](img/advanced_global_search.png)
+
+You can also use the [Advanced Syntax Search](advanced_search_syntax.md) which
+provides some useful queries.
+
+>**Note:**
+Elasticsearch has only data for the default branch. That means that if you go
+to the repository tree and switch the branch from the default to something else,
+then the "Code" tab in the search result page will be served by the regular
+search even if Elasticsearch is enabled.

+# Advanced Syntax Search **[STARTER ONLY]**
+
+> **Notes:**
+> - Introduced in [GitLab Enterprise Starter][ee] 9.2
+> - This is the user documentation. To install and configure Elasticsearch,
+>   visit the [administrator documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/elasticsearch.html).
+
+NOTE: **Note**
+Advanced Global Search (powered by Elasticsearch) is not yet available on GitLab.com. We are working on adding it. [Follow this epic for the latest updates](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/153).
+
+Use advanced queries for more targeted search results.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Advanced Syntax Search is a subset of the
+[Advanced Global Search](advanced_global_search.md), which you can use if you
+want to have more specific search results.
+
+## Use cases
+
+Let's say for example that the product you develop relies on the code of another
+product that's hosted under some other group.
+
+Since under your GitLab instance there are hosted hundreds of different projects,
+you need the search results to be as efficient as possible. You have a feeling
+of what you want to find (e.g., a function name), but at the same you're also
+not so sure.
+
+In that case, using the advanced search syntax in your query will yield much
+better results.
+
+## Using the Advanced Syntax Search
+
+The Advanced Syntax Search supports fuzzy or exact search queries with prefixes,
+boolean operators, and much more.
+
+Full details can be found in the [Elasticsearch documentation][elastic], but
+here's a quick guide:
+
+- Searches look for all the words in a query, in any order - e.g.: searching
+  issues for `display bug` will return all issues matching both those words, in any order.
+- To find the exact phrase (stemming still applies), use double quotes: `"display bug"`
+- To find bugs not mentioning display, use `-`: `bug -display`
+- To find a bug in display or sound, use `|`: `bug display | sound`
+- To group terms together, use parentheses: `bug | (display +sound)`
+- To match a partial word, use `*`: `bug find_by_*`
+- To find a term containing one of these symbols, use `\`: `argument \-last`
+
+### Syntax search filters
+
+The Advanced Syntax Search also supports the use of filters. The available filters are:
+
+ - filename: Filters by filename. You can use the glob (`*`) operator for fuzzy matching.
+ - path: Filters by path. You can use the glob (`*`) operator for fuzzy matching.
+ - extension: Filters by extension in the filename. Please write the extension without a leading dot. Exact match only.
+
+To use them, simply add them to your query in the format `<filter_name>:<value>` without
+ any spaces between the colon (`:`) and the value.
+
+Examples:
+
+- Finding a file with any content named `hello_world.rb`: `* filename:hello_world.rb`
+- Finding a file named `hello_world` with the text `whatever` inside of it: `whatever filename:hello_world`
+- Finding the text 'def create' inside files with the `.rb` extension: `def create extension:rb`
+- Finding the text `sha` inside files in a folder called `encryption`: `sha path:encryption`
+- Finding any file starting with `hello` containing `world` and with the `.js` extension: `world filename:hello* extension:js`
