Instead of creating duplicate code and wasting time, you can -now search for code within other projects that can help your own project. - -GitLab leverages the search capabilities of [Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/) and enables it when -searching in: - -- Projects -- Issues -- Merge requests -- Milestones -- Comments -- Code -- Commits -- Wiki -- Users - -## Use cases - -The Advanced Search can be useful in various scenarios. - -### Faster searches - -Advanced Search is based on Elasticsearch, which is a purpose built full text search engine that can be horizontally scaled so that it can provide search results in 1-2 seconds in most cases. - -### 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. - - - -You can also use the [Advanced Search Syntax](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 basic -search even if Elasticsearch is enabled. |
