How can I search for a string in the gitweb interface of a git repository?

Question

I would like to search for kill in the gitweb interface of the repository of Bash .

In that link, I typed kill on the top right input box, and leave commitselected on the left. But the search result is empty, which is incorrect.

So how can I search for a string in the gitweb interface of a Git repository?

Git clone the repo and git grep? – shirakia Jan 06 '19 at 07:06 — shirakia, Jan 06 '19 at 07:06

When selecting commit you will search for the character sequence kill in the commit message. To find kill in the source code you should select grep.
