Search actually works very well over all committed files (we run it with '*' and set to trunk on the server, with an index).
I find it a valuable feature, because our module structure has lots of files and a class can live in multiple files named the same, but in different directories. I usually search for the content and then a) copy the link to Emacs minibuffer, adjust it a bit and open the checked-out file, or b) copy to the browser address bar and adjust it to get to the Fossil finfo timeline for specific file. So if Fossil can allow a search for filename, give me a relative link to the file for use case a) and finfo history link for b) - that would be just awesome. I've discussed this and other things before, and would be keen to hear other people thoughts: http://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users%40lists.fossil-scm.org/msg19535.html (Point 3. is fixed, BTW.) P.S. Even when rebuilding index over a specific branch and repeating a) or b) above, it takes just a couple of seconds for hundreds of files and it's heaps faster then traversing the files via Fossil files menu. From: sky5w...@gmail.com Maybe a dumb question, but can search be expanded to repo files? Maybe just the tip? Is it a speed issue or too many results to process?
