# File finder
_**Note:** This feature was [introduced][gh-9889] in GitLab 8.4._
---
The file finder feature allows you to quickly shortcut your way when you are
searching for a file in a repository using the GitLab UI.
You can find the
**Find File**
button when in the
**Files**
section of a
project.

)
---
For the more lazy, there is a
[
shortcut button
](
shortcuts.md
)
as well.
Go the
**Files**
section of a project and press
`t`
on your keyboard to launch
the search function. Start typing what you are searching for and watch the
magic being unfold. With the up/down arrows, you go up and down the results,
with
`Esc`
you close the search and go back to
**Files**
.
## How it works
The File finder feature is powered by the [Fuzzy filter] library.
It implements a fuzzy search with highlight, and tries to provide intuitive
results by recognizing patterns that people use while searching.
For example, consider the
[
GitLab CE repository
][
ce
]
and that we want to open
the
`app/controllers/admin/deploy_keys_controller.rb`
file.
Using fuzzy search, we start by typing letters that get us closer to the file.
**Protip:**
To narrow down your search, include
`/`
in your search terms.
