Thank you Sumana! I know a lot more about searching in gerrit now, which helps 
a lot in general :)

Cheers,
Markus

Hi, Markus.  I looked for the search syntax in the Gerrit docs -- by the way, 
you should probably be looking in 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/user-search.html since that is 
congruent with our installation of Gerrit, version 2.4.2.  I found the 
"file:^REGEX" operator, with the note:

"Currently this operator is only available on a watched project and may not be 
used in the search bar."

I'm sorry for the trouble.  For your purpose, I suggest you create a quick HTML 
page and commit it into the test/mediawiki/extensions/examples repository.

The search examples in the Gerrit documentation are fairly useful.  A few 
searches I often use:

* status: and project: search, as in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:open+project:^mediawiki.*,n,z
and
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:open+project:mediawiki/extensions/ProofreadPage,n,z

* "what patchsets haven't gotten reviewed yet?" search:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/-CodeReview%252B1+-CodeReview%252B2+-CodeReview-1+-CodeReview-2+project:%255Emediawiki.*,n,z

* owner: search, as in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/owner:preilly,n,z or 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:merged+-owner:L10n-bot,n,z
(using minus to exclude localization bot commits)

* searching commit messages, as in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/message:performance,n,z
