I have 20 projects in my gitlab repo and I wan't to search for a text throughout all projects in the web ui. It works with a single project, when I select it, but I don't know how to search through all of my projects.

I just hope that I didn't miss a small step, but I select Your projects and use the search bar. Don't know why this is so unintuitive compared to github.

This is an EE feature that requires an ElasticSearch instance:

So how do I add a ES instance?

Try again with GitLab 13.4 (September 2020)

Quick navigation using the Search bar

When navigating through GitLab, sometimes you just want to go to a specific project and not a search result page.

Using the Global search bar, you can now quickly jump to recent issues, groups, projects, settings, and help topics. You can even use the / keyboard shortcut to move the cursor to the search bar, to navigate GitLab even more efficiently!
