Surprisingly, I haven't found any feature requests for better code search. I'm relatively new to Google and Gerrit, so if such features already exists, please let me know. I'd love to be able to search for arbitrary strings and regexps in the whole code review. Similar to what / currently does, only / searches only a single file as far as I can tell. When there are many files being changed and I'm new to the code base and have no idea which files have touched what parts of code, I have to go to each file and do a separate / search there. Would be nice to have a command that would allow me to search all changed files simultaneously. I think ideally it would be two different commands - one would search for a string/regexp in all changed lines/diff chunks of the given review, and another one would search for a string/regexp in all files changed in the given review (i.e. unlike the first one it would find the given string/regexp even if it's found in the unchanged part of some changed file).

Yup, this is a good one, I was surprised a basic review feature like this was missing. |
