autojump jump based on parent directory

Question

Is there any way to jump to a location based on the parent directory? Most of the times the code base will have the same child directory name such as src. In the following case, is there a way to jump to /tmp/temp1/test1?

$ j -s
10.0:   /tmp/temp1/test1
14.1:   /tmp/temp2/test1
28.3:   /tmp
________________________________________

52:  total key weight
3:   stored directories
28.28:   current directory weight
db file: /home/<user>/.local/share/autojump/autojump.txt

$ j temp1
autojump: directory 'temp1' not found
Try `autojump --help` for more information.

Thanks.

You should probably ask that in the same place where you got the `autojump` - https://github.com/wting/autojump/issues . The `bash` itself has only the `CDPATH`. P.S. Oh wait, you have already asked: https://github.com/wting/autojump/issues/424 — Dummy00001, Jun 17 '16 at 11:52
@Dummy00001 I will update the post if / when I get any response from the maintainers. — Anandan, Jun 17 '16 at 12:05
