You have one line of a question which is so vague that no-one can
possibly answer it, followed by 19 lines of disclaimer. If you want
help you are going to have to make more effort yourself.

I’m assuming you don’t have access to any search engines and want to look for a filename. You could recursively list the contents of a repository and grep that list…

 

svn ls -R https://server/repo/project/trunk | grep filename

Assuming your access to search engines is still not working. The GnuWin project “provides ports of tools with a GNU or similar open source license, to modern MS-Windows” http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ One of which is grep (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm) which I’m sure you’ll find useful in a wide variety of other situations.

Wow some real twats in this thread. The single sentence question was simple enough to understand.

Believe it or not some people are stuck using Windows if their company forces them to. So telling them to run svn commands from a command prompt and also install a windows version of grep into their command line has to be the dumbest answer I have ever seen to a question where the person is obviously not a software developer.

Sorry you were subjected to this Waseem. The other guys have some personal issues they're working through.

To properly answer your question I don't think tortoise can search for a file in a svn repo. Which is a shame because that functionality makes a ton of sense. Unfortunately my search's haven't turned up much in the form of a windows program that will search a SVN repo. I found this: http://svnquery.tigris.org/.

When tortoise was installed there was an option to also install the svn command. I can't remember exactly where that option was. If you get the latest tortoise and choose that option to install the command then as of SVN 1.8 you can use the --search option.

I found this information here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/254214/svn-repository-search
