Search on gitlab

[Simon Peyton Jones]

I typed the query into the search box on the top black menu bar.  The box has the encouraging text "search or jump to".
https://gitlab.haskell.org/search?group_id=&project_id=&repository_ref=&scope=projects&search=capturetopconstraints

Ah.... now I see that it's displaying a "projects" tab.  

In BOLD LETTERS the page says "We couldn't find any results matching capturetopconstraints".   

But there is a quiet grey "merge requests" tab that indeed shows the MR.   Ha!  That's subtle!

Even more oddly, when I did the same thing again (from somewhere else) I got this
https://gitlab.haskell.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=captureTopConstraints&group_id=&project_id=1&scope=wiki_blobs&repository_ref=
 Note it displays "Code", "Commits" and "Comments" tabs which it did not before.

In that second page it looks as if the "project" filter is set to GHC.  But if actually pick GHC from the project-filter menu I get no results.  Well, I picked "Project: Glasgow Haskell Compiler/ci-images" whatever that is?  But there /is/ no plain GHC project in the list!


When I get more results like this:
https://gitlab.haskell.org/search?project_id=1&scope=notes&search=stub+binding
how are the results sorted?  Can I sort them most-recent first?


Thanks

Simon

|  Which search box did you use? It appears for me.
