How to search for something dot something (text.text) ?

Hi maincoffee, thanks for this question. We're continually working on improving the search feature, and appreciate you letting us know about your experience with this.

Since you're on version 8.8 Beta, have you tried the find feature we recently introduced? This might be closer to what you're looking for. You can access this using ctrl-alt-f. I'll be interested to learn if you feel this is a step in the right direction. Thanks again for the feedback!
