Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Gitlab wiki search

The closest thing I've found so far is using fuzzy globbing along with the "filename:" keyword:

https://gitlab.com/help/user/search/advanced_search_syntax.md

Searching for "* filename:submitting" returns Development/SubmittingPatches.md for me here. It's definitely clunky compared to Moin's title search (and searching code and issues in GitLab).
