Thanks for trying out OneDev. OneDev search has a query language to bind any text search with other criteries such as issue state, issue priority etc. To search any text, use the form
~text to search~.Normally you do not need to type prefix and suffix
~, as OneDev will display an auto-complete suggestion, and you may simply type text you want to search, and hit a tab to have OneDev auto-completes it for you.This is a bit complicated compared to other products. However the benefit is that you can combine it with any other criterias to fine tune your search.

Nevertheless, this might not be very friendly for new users, and I will explore ways to improve the experience.

Hello,
I was just checking out OneDev today as a possible alternative to Gitea. Coming from a Gitea/Gitlab/Gerrit background, I found the default Issues search behavior to be counterintuitive. Typically when I go to a project's "Issues" page, I'm searching for an exact error string to see if anyone else has encountered the same problem. Trying this on OneDev resulted in a "malformed query" error. I checked the documentation and could not find a way to do a plain text search.
I eventually stumbled into how to do it, but I think the Issues search should work more like Gitea/Gitlab/Gerrit and less like project management software like JIRA.
Thanks for listening, and for your hard work on this project.
