SEARCHING
5.1 Quick Search
New in version 1.6.
The search field found on every page can be used to quickly locate review requests, users, and groups without needing
to do a full search.
As you type, a list of matches will appear. Clicking on a match will immediately take you to the appropriate page.
If your server has full-text search (page 31) enabled, hitting enter after typing your search terms will perform a full
search.
The following can be searched using Quick Search:
• Review request IDs
• Review request summaries
• Usernames
• Users’ first/last names
• Group names
• Group display names
5.2 Full-Text Search
If your Review Board server has full-text search enabled, you will be able to search through all public review requests
using the search field on any page. This will match text in the review request, the files modified, and other fields using
our query syntax.
Logical operators, such as AND, OR, and NOT, can be used to narrow down your search. Individual fields on review
requests can also be searched.
5.2.1 Query Syntax
There are a variety of ways to combine terms in the search field. By default, the search results will be an “AND” of
any words entered in the box. This means searching for window javascript will give pages that have both of
those terms in them.
In order to narrow down your results, there are a few useful operators you can use.
