-## Overview
-
-The Advanced Search in GitLab is a powerful search service that saves
-you time. 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.
-
-![Advanced Search](img/advanced_global_search.png)
-
-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.

+  may be connected to each other, so your developers need to instantly search

+

+
+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.
+
+The Advanced Search syntax supports fuzzy or exact search queries with prefixes,
+boolean operators, and much more. Use the search as before and GitLab will show
+you matching code from each project you have access to.

+
+Full details can be found in the [Elasticsearch documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.3/query-dsl-simple-query-string-query.html#_simple_query_string_syntax), but
+here's a quick guide:
+
+- Searches look for all the words in a query, in any order - e.g.: searching
+  issues for [`display bug`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=issues&repository_ref=&search=display+bug&group_id=9970&project_id=278964) and [`bug display`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=issues&repository_ref=&search=bug+Display&group_id=9970&project_id=278964) will return the same results.
+- To find the exact phrase (stemming still applies), use double quotes: [`"display bug"`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=issues&repository_ref=&search=%22display+bug%22&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- To find bugs not mentioning display, use `-`: [`bug -display`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=issues&repository_ref=&search=bug+-display&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- To find a bug in display or banner, use `|`: [`bug display | banner`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=issues&repository_ref=&search=bug+display+%7C+banner&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- To group terms together, use parentheses: [`bug | (display +banner)`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=issues&repository_ref=&search=bug+%7C+%28display+%2Bbanner%29&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- To match a partial word, use `*`. In this example, I want to find bugs with any 500 errors. : [`bug error 50*`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=issues&repository_ref=&search=bug+error+50*&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- To use one of symbols above literally, escape the symbol with a preceding `\`: [`argument \-last`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=argument+%5C-last&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+
+## Syntax search filters
+
+Advanced Search also supports the use of filters. The available filters are:
+
+- `filename`: Filters by filename. You can use the glob (`*`) operator for fuzzy matching.
+- `path`: Filters by path. You can use the glob (`*`) operator for fuzzy matching.
+- `extension`: Filters by extension in the filename. Please write the extension without a leading dot. Exact match only.
+- `blob`: Filters by Git `object ID`. Exact match only.
+
+To use them, add them to your keyword in the format `<filter_name>:<value>` without
+any spaces between the colon (`:`) and the value. When no keyword is provided, an asterisk (`*`) will be used as the keyword.
+
+Examples:
+
+- Finding a file with any content named `search_results.rb`: [`* filename:search_results.rb`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=*+filename%3Asearch_results.rb&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- The leading asterisk (`*`) can be ignored in the case above: [`filename:search_results.rb`](https://gitlab.com/search?group_id=9970&project_id=278964&scope=blobs&search=filename%3Asearch_results.rb)
+- Finding a file named `found_blob_spec.rb` with the text `CHANGELOG` inside of it: [`CHANGELOG filename:found_blob_spec.rb`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=CHANGELOG+filename%3Afound_blob_spec.rb&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- Finding the text `EpicLinks` inside files with the `.rb` extension: [`EpicLinks extension:rb`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=EpicLinks+extension%3Arb&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- Finding any file with the `.yaml` extension: [`extension:yaml`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=extension%3Ayaml&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- Finding the text `Sidekiq` in a file, when that file is in a path that includes `elastic`: [`Sidekiq path:elastic`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=Sidekiq+path%3Aelastic&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- Finding any file in a path that includes `elasticsearch`: [`path:elasticsearch`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=path%3Aelasticsearch&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- Finding the files represented by the Git object ID `998707b421c89bd9a3063333f9f728ef3e43d101`: [`* blob:998707b421c89bd9a3063333f9f728ef3e43d101`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=false&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=*+blob%3A998707b421c89bd9a3063333f9f728ef3e43d101&group_id=9970)
+- Syntax filters can be combined for complex filtering. Finding any file starting with `search` containing `eventHub` and with the `.js` extension: [`eventHub filename:search* extension:js`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=eventHub+filename%3Asearch*+extension%3Ajs&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+
+### Excluding filters
+
+[Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31684) in GitLab Starter 13.3.
+
+Filters can be inverted to **filter out** results from the result set, by prefixing the filter name with a `-` (hyphen) character, such as:
+
+- `-filename`
+- `-path`
+- `-extension`
+- `-blob`
+
+Examples:
+
+- Finding `rails` in all files but `Gemfile.lock`: [`rails -filename:Gemfile.lock`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=rails+-filename%3AGemfile.lock&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- Finding `success` in all files excluding `.po|pot` files: [`success -filename:*.po*`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=success+-filename%3A*.po*&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- Finding `import` excluding minified JavaScript (`.min.js`) files: [`import -extension:min.js`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=import+-extension%3Amin.js&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- Finding `docs` for all files outside the `docs/` folder: [`docs -path:docs/`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=docs+-path%3Adocs%2F&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+
+## Search by issue or merge request ID
+
+You can search a specific issue or merge request by its ID with a special prefix.
+
+- To search by issue ID, use prefix `#` followed by issue ID. For example, [#23456](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=issues&repository_ref=&search=%2323456&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
+- To search by merge request ID, use prefix `!` followed by merge request ID. For example [!23456](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=merge_requests&repository_ref=&search=%2123456&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)

- Finding any file in a path that includes `elasticsearch`: [`path:elasticsearch`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=path%3Aelasticsearch&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
- Finding the files represented by the Git object ID `998707b421c89bd9a3063333f9f728ef3e43d101`: [`* blob:998707b421c89bd9a3063333f9f728ef3e43d101`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=false&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=*+blob%3A998707b421c89bd9a3063333f9f728ef3e43d101&group_id=9970)
- Syntax filters can be combined for complex filtering. Finding any file starting with `search` containing `eventHub` and with the `.js` extension: [`eventHub filename:search* extension:js`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=eventHub+filename%3Asearch*+extension%3Ajs&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
-
-#### Excluding filters
-
-[Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31684) in GitLab Starter 13.3.
-
-Filters can be inverted to **filter out** results from the result set, by prefixing the filter name with a `-` (hyphen) character, such as:
-
- `-filename`
- `-path`
- `-extension`
- `-blob`
-
-Examples:
-
- Finding `rails` in all files but `Gemfile.lock`: [`rails -filename:Gemfile.lock`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=rails+-filename%3AGemfile.lock&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
- Finding `success` in all files excluding `.po|pot` files: [`success -filename:*.po*`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=success+-filename%3A*.po*&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
- Finding `import` excluding minified JavaScript (`.min.js`) files: [`import -extension:min.js`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=import+-extension%3Amin.js&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
- Finding `docs` for all files outside the `docs/` folder: [`docs -path:docs/`](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=blobs&repository_ref=&search=docs+-path%3Adocs%2F&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
-
-### Search by issue or merge request ID
-
-You can search a specific issue or merge request by its ID with a special prefix.
-
- To search by issue ID, use prefix `#` followed by issue ID. For example, [#23456](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=issues&repository_ref=&search=%2323456&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
- To search by merge request ID, use prefix `!` followed by merge request ID. For example [!23456](https://gitlab.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&snippets=&scope=merge_requests&repository_ref=&search=%2123456&group_id=9970&project_id=278964)
