Scope: wiki_blobs
This scope is available only when advanced search is enabled.
The following 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.
