Searching Code

PlaidCloud Git lets you search code, files, issues, and pull requests across all repositories your workspace membership gives you access to.

Search Code

Select the search box at the top of any page and type your query.
Press Enter to see results across every repository you can access.
Select a result to jump directly to the file at the matching line.
Narrow results with the Repository and Language filters on the results page.

Search Within a Repository

Open a repository and select the Code tab.
Press T (or select the file-finder box) to open the file finder.
Type part of a filename or path — the list filters as you type.
Select a file to open it, then use your browser’s find-in-page (⌘F / Ctrl+F) to locate a specific line.

Filter Issues and Pull Requests

On the Issues or Pull Requests list, combine keyword search with key:value filters:

Filter	Example
Open or closed state	`is:open`, `is:closed`
Label	`label:bug`, `label:"needs review"`
Assignee	`assignee:you`
Author	`author:you`
Milestone	`milestone:"v1.2"`

Type filters directly in the search box, combine them freely, and use the Sort menu to order by Recently Updated, Most Commented, Newest, or Oldest.

Tips for Finding Things Faster

Exact phrases — wrap multi-word terms in quotes ("connection pool") to avoid noisy partial matches.
Scope to a repository — open the repository before searching so results stay focused.
Descriptive names pay off — repositories and issues with clear, specific names surface in search far more reliably than generic ones like misc.
Labels are searchable metadata — a well-labeled issue is easier to filter than one buried in prose, so apply labels consistently.
