Our company uses Phorge for many small software projects for many different customers. So we have roughly 500 repos. Our developers have to search for repos in a fast manner. They try to use the main search and hope for typeahead results, but quite often the repository is not found. The problem: the search term is only matched as a prefix of repository name, callsign or slug.
See: https://we.phorge.it/source/phorge/browse/master/src/applications/repository/query/PhabricatorRepositoryQuery.php$646
Our devs often can't remember the entire name of the repo, just a succinct keyword of the title will come to mind. So my proposal: Make the `name` query to a substring query to find repos faster. This would align this datasource type with people, project and wiki searches, which work with substrings too.
Is this a reasonable proposal? I am open for discussion.
