Search projects using group names
Problem to solve
Currently on the Projects page, if we try to filter by name, the search only considers the name of the project, but not the groups (namespaces).
-
long_namecan be searched bylongornameorlo namornam lo -
group_main/sub_group/repocan't be searched bygroup_mainorsub_group
There's a group search but it effectively breaks the UX when a person searches for a group to narrow down the results (or if the name of the repo is easily forgotten)
Target audience
This would ease the UX for Sasha, Delaney and Devon
Further details
Possibly a tag or check-box for the search to only use repository name to prevent flooding due to group name in case the user is searching only by repository name
Proposal
Modify the search algo and add a switch to turn off the wider search. Possibly incorporating substring fuzzy matching might help...
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Acceptance criteria:
