Advanced Search: Code search doesn't mention which branch the search was done when no search results are returned
Currently the advance search is defaulted to main/master branch. Any code search done, which isn't present in the master/main branch results into an error message saying "We couldn't find any code results matching search text
in project project text
"
The error message is misleading as it doesn't mention to the user that the search was only done on master/main branch and not on other branches.
Steps to reproduce
- Have the advance search enabled on Gitlab
- Clone a project locally
- Commit a new file with text
Hello world
in a new branch and push it upstream - Go to the project in GitLab
- Click on Magnifying Lens
- Search for
Hello world
in that project
Actual Result
The following error message appears
Proposal
There should be an indication that the search was only focused on main/master branch and not other branch.
