without the punctuation characters searching is lame - I can not find packages or specific annotatio

[RobS]

What alternative do I have to search for @Autowired  or 

import com.cyz.mypackage

periods and @ characters are of no such value  unless I pull in to an IDE and search there - This seems not very constructive of your programing team

Hi @RobS and welcome to the community.

Searching for Autowired will show @Autowired as well in the results, and a search for import com.cyz.mypackage should also bring up the file with this line.

Please keep in mind that code search uses the main branch in a repository and it will not return results for files on other branches. Are the files with this content in a branch other than the main one? And what is the behavior you are experiencing if you search the terms I suggested above? Are you getting no results at all?

Kind regards,
Theodora
