Vetrix Docs

Search finds code, symbols, issues, and merge requests across every repository you have access to, all from a single query. Type a term into the global search box in the top navigation bar and Vetrix takes you to a results page that groups the matches by type, lets you narrow to one type at a time, and lets you switch between the most relevant and the most recent results.

Where to find it

  • URL: gitvetrix.com/search?q=<your query>
  • Navigation: Use the Global search box in the top navigation bar, present on every page once you are signed in. Press the / key from anywhere (while not already typing in a field) to jump straight to it.
  1. Select the Global search box in the top navigation bar. It shows the placeholder Search Vetrix….
  2. Type your query.
  3. Press Enter to open the results page at gitvetrix.com/search.
  4. To change your query from the results page, edit the Search… box at the top of the page and select Search.

Search covers only the repositories you are allowed to see, so private and internal content you do not have access to never appears in your results.

Read the results

Results are grouped into four types, each with its own labelled section:

  • Code — matching lines of file content. Each row shows the owner and repository, the file path (with the line number where the match sits), and the file's language. Selecting a row opens the file at that line.
  • Symbols — matching function, type, and other named definitions. Each row shows the owner and repository, the symbol name, its kind, and the file and line where it is defined.
  • Issues — matching issues. Each row shows the issue number, its title, and a status badge showing whether it is open or closed.
  • Merges — matching merge requests. Each row shows the merge request number, its title, a status badge, and the source and target branches.

A line above the results tells you how many total results were found and across how many types.

Narrow to one type

  1. Run a search so the results appear.
  2. Use the tab strip above the results: All, Code, Symbols, Issues, and Merges. Each tab shows a count of matches in that type.
  3. Select a tab to show only that type. All shows every type together.

Your selected tab and query are kept in the page address, so you can bookmark or share a narrowed search and it opens the same way.

Change the result order

Use the sort control on the right of the tab strip to switch between:

  • Relevance — the best-matching results first. This is the default.
  • Recent — the most recently updated results first.

Tips

  • Before you enter a term, the page shows Enter a search term and explains that search covers code, issues, and merges in repositories you have access to.
  • When a search finds nothing, the page shows No matches and suggests refining your query.
  • If search is temporarily unavailable, the page shows Search is currently unavailable; select Retry to run the search again.
  • When search is running in a reduced-capacity mode, a banner reads Search is running in degraded mode — results may be incomplete. Your results still appear, but some matches may be missing until full capacity returns.
