Our gerrit @ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/ has hundreds of projects with hierarchical names, e.g. "mediawiki/extension/mobilefrontend". These names allow easier management and grouping, but make it impossible to search for.

For example, when typing in the searchbox  "project:", i have to remember the entire path to the project in order to use it. I cannot simply type "project:mob" and pick what I need from dropbox. I think it would greatly improve usability if the autocomplete would either do a substring search among all project names, or break project names into words and searching through them. Additionally, it might be good to search the project descriptions as well.

Thanks!
