Search cannot find paths with filenames

Current behavior

When searching in the Cypres UI for a file, if the full path is used, Cypress cannot find the file. When just the folder is searched, Cypress can find the files. Also, if just the filename is used as a search parameter, then Cypress can find the test file.

For example

cypress/e2e/spec.cy.js -> will not be found

cypress/e2e/ -> will not find any results

cypress/e2e -> will find the files in the e2e folder

spec.cy.js -> will find all tests with the same name

Desired behavior

Cypress should allow searching with the full path of a file and be able to find any test file if the filename+full relative path is passed as a search parameter.

Test code to reproduce

https://github.com/DanielYang-AT/cypress-test-tiny (this is a fork of the cypress-test-tiny with 0 changes)

• Run Cypress Open
• Select e2e testing
• Open with chrome or electron
• search for a spec by pasting in cypress/e2e/spec.cy.js
• no results are found when the example spec should be shown.

Cypress Version

10.2.0

Other

Cypress 9.x.x and below were all able to find the files as expected. This was a change after the upgrade to 10.x.x

+1 Cypress UI search is completely broken. It ALWAYS defaults to partial matching, so there’s no way I can find tests via a perfect match and that makes it quite useless.

As an example: In my specs tree I’ve a folder “simulations” and a folder “lti”, each containing various .cy files.

If I type “lti” in the UI search box, this will match both the “simulation” folder (it matches both the “l” and “ti” separately) and the “lti” folder (via a complete match). That’s not what 99% of the human beings using a search box expect, at all…
