Are there any tips and tricks regarding this search box ?  
If I write text it, I think, only searches build #, and I know I can use prefix tag: to filter out tags, are there any other prefixes for branches, people, etc ?

I didn’t find such information in help.

Hi Michal,

There are no other prefixes. Currently it searches the build version field (build # column) in the database unless it is prefixed by `tag:` in which case it searches for matching build tags.

This does appear to be something we should look into improving - perhaps to allow searching the Started By, Branches and Status columns.

Yes, started by and branches is something we were looking for.

We have now added a selection of search filters to the History tab of the Configuration view in [v1.9.2.1139](https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/continuaci/continua-ci-version-history-v192)
