I keep finding that 'search' in Gitlab misses things.
Example https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/22715 mentions "Haskeline" (just look on that page)
Yet when I go to https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/ and search for "Haskeline", this ticket isn't reported.
What am I doing wrong?
I belive that the search bar at the top of https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/ only searches the issues' title and description. However, in this particular ticket Haskeline is only mentioned in a comment. It is possible to search in comments via https://gitlab.haskell.org/search?group_id=2&project_id=1&scope=notes. Sadly, searching for "Haskeline" here turns up over 300 results and none of which are the ticket you are looking for; I'm sure that the ticket is in the returned results somewhere, but I don't think this would be an efficient way to find it (although being able to sort the result set by date would make this much easier). For this reason I routinely edit issue labels and descriptions to ensure that they mention useful keywords. However, even then locating tickets can be challenging. Cheers, - Ben
