Problem definition

Bitbucket Server ver4.6+ that comes with ElasticSearch is not effective for performing search repository with partial string after '.' or '_' return with incorrect or no results. It appears that search code detects '-' as a word boundary.

Performing the search with wildcards such as '%' or '?' does not provide any results as it would in previous versions(without ElasticSearch).

Suggested solution

N/A

Workaround

Type out the repository name from the initial string for the best match.

Why this is important

Preforming repository search with categorized first, second and so on with set of strings that separated by word boundaries or separators such '.', '' or '_' would be laborious.

Performing repository search on repository names using '_' or '.' as substring separators is laborious, because the substrings are not detected
