Well, this is rather confusing, because the drop-down by the search box on [1] has a selection for "commit". You'd think that would allow you to search for a specific commit.

Turns out, the help [2] states that the "commit" context for search searches commit author and messages. So I guess it's as expected, albeit confusing. :(

Anyone know how hard it would be to allow a commit "search" to also look for a specific commit hash?
