Format the search result in bitbucket as a collapsible tree

Manuela Marti August 28, 2025

Is it possible to format the search result in bitbucket as a collapsible tree? 

Tree ordered as Project -> Repo -> directory structure. 

In my case, the result is completely unordered, I know sometimes, the result is not in a repository X, Y or Z, but might be in A,  B or C. The sorting seems unordered in my eyes: X, A, Z, C. B, C, X, Y might be an answer. 

As I know, it can't be in repo X, Y and Z, I would like to collapse these repositories. Furthermore, when I would like to search more projects, but also know that some projects might have the same words but are irrelevant, I can't collapse them all. 

If collapse doesn't work, then at least a tree might help.

Hey @Manuela Marti 

Welcome to the community!

I'll begin by confirming whether you're referring to Bitbucket Server (self-hosted) or Bitbucket Cloud. If it's Bitbucket Cloud, I believe there isn't a collapsible tree in the search results.

If you can share why you need this feature, I can gladly submit a feature request on your behalf.

Hi Syahrul

Thank you for your quick reply and sorry for the delay.

I think we are on Bitbucket-Server. I'll go to our infrastructure team and ask them, whether the search result in bitbucket search can be organized somehow. 

We are currently set up as follows: 

Every team has one or more projects, every team has multiple repositories. There are also some learning projects, which I'm not interested when searching the whole bitbucket server. Thus, I have two problems:

1. the search results are not ordered in a way, I can understand (neither ordered by project or repository, nor by amount of found words in a file)

2. The search result is always only file-based. There's no way I could see which repositories or projects are affected. 

2a. That means, if I know, I'm not interested in project X, but would like to know, which other projects are affected, I would have to scroll multiple pages. Or give up. 

2b. The positive way the say, I would only check project Y is possible, but does not aim the target neither, because then I need to check multiple projects again.

 

I hope this helps you understand my problem.

Kind regards

Manuela

Hi @Syahrul 

I have now clarified with the infrastructure team, we are on Bitbucket-server and have no such option/plugin to display search results as a collapsible tree.

Thank you for submitting a feature request.

Kind regards

Manuela
