    • We collect Bitbucket feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      After implementing BSERV-3854, we can use substrings for code/repository search.

      For example,

      • We can find repositories like "apple banana", "banana cat" with a keyword "banana"
      • We can find methods like "appleBanana", "bananaCat" in codes with a keyword "banana"

      However, in some cases, we want to search them in the following way.

      • Search functions like "applebanana", "bananacat" in codes with a keyword "banana"

      At this moment, Bitbucket Server doesn't allow us to do search in that way.

      I'd appreciate if you guys would consider this partial matching feature.
      Additionally, when implementing this feature, please apply the fix not only to English but also to other languages containing multibyte characters as well.

      Regards,
      Yuki

            [BSERV-8835] Allow us to use partial matching in code/repository search

            Hi,

            I need this "feature" also, e.g. in "Repository search".

            I want to find this

            de.myCompany.myDepartmant.myProject

            by inserting only this:

            myProject or *myProject  or %myProject

            Really surprised this isn't a thing already. It looks like GitHub does this or is trying to (https://github.blog/2021-12-08-improving-github-code-search/).

            How it is not an option by default blows my mind. It is basic UX.

            Yes please! Very useful feature that will save people significant time!

            5 years and still gathering interest. That itself is very interesting. Partial search is a very useful feature and we don't have it 5 years later.

            Code search would be so much more useful if we could trust the search results.
