When a repository has a dot in the name, like `this-is-my.new-repository`, the search doesn't work when you search for the word after the dot.
- [NO OK] Search: new
- [OK] Search: this
- [OK] Search: is
- [OK] Search: my
- [OK] Search: this-is-my
- [OK] Search: my.new
- [OK] Search: this-is-my.new-repository
Looking for why this happens, it is because of the indexation of the name into ElasticSearch. Bitbucket is using a field that is not tokenized, so the search will work only for full match of the field or match of the words separated by hyphen or underscore, but doesn't for dots. In Elasticsearch, for fields of type string, the word before the dot, the dot and the word after the dot is tokenized as a full word. So you for the repository name used before, Elasitcsearch will tokenize into this words:
Here you can see the query executed by Bitbucket to find projects and repositories by name.
