Search commit by hash

[symonsg]

Hi,
since updating to version 4.0 I can't to search commit by hash.
Previously the search filter was "Commit message and hash" but now just "Commit message".
Will this feature be come back in the future?

Thanks,
Simone

Can you explain more your need?
What do you want to do exactly that is not covered by the "Go to commit..." navigation feature:

The following was removed, when filters were updated.
Use the navigate function instead. (then you do not have to clear the filter to see other than the commit itself).

Thanks, didn't know there was another option.

Hi @gerhardol, @pmiossec,
I didn't know that the function was removed when filters were updated.
Thanks I will use the "go to commit" feature

@gerhardol This was a very useful feature and I'm not sure why it was removed. I just spent time uninstalling and reinstalling v4.x and finally rolled back to 3.5.4 to find the missing search by commit hash feature.

I bet I'm not the only dev who won't know to go into the navigate context menu or use some keyboard shortcut to invoke the search by commit hash feature. Please reconsider adding it back to the main view ("quick filter") in the search box that we are all trained to use.

update: you noted "then you do not have to clear the filter to see other than the commit itself" as the reason

Just make it so that when I remove my search text, you update the view to clear the filter. Currently I have to click on the GUI to get it to do this, which is an extra step, but can easily be fixed without removing the feature altogether.

Click navigate menu. Go to commit. Also explore the other options. You can literally do an incremental search. You can also use Ctrl f to do an advaned search.
