search: match literal expressions when including forks (!9014) · Merge requests · Administrator / sourcegraph · GitLab

Administrator requested to merge rvt/conservative-guess-one-repo-for-fork-inclusion into master Mar 13, 2020

Created by: rvantonder

Follow up to https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/8993#discussion_r392212136. When including search results for a fork based on a pattern like repo:^blah_blah$, the blah_blah part should be a literal (i.e., not contain any regex operators).
