'How to search my Pipeline among many Projects from DevOps Home Page
If I try to search a pipeline from my organisation’s home page search bar, it shows me nothing. I have multiple projects configured under ADO and I want to search for a pipeline directly from the ADO home UI rather than going inside each and every project and search.
Do we have any option or strategy to do so.
My pipelines are stored in Git.

Searching for pipelines is not supported out of the box on Azure DevOps. Currently you can search for types shown below:
You may read that you can search for Azure Repos, Pipelines, Test Plans, or an Artifacts page for a project: automatically displays functional filters for code searches.
This search will only search inside a project for files/code with the specific name. First things first you should enable new settings search from preview features.
Given that I have created a pipeline named cron on my test-project (Azure devops project) I can search inside this project for cron, but this search will output only the files that include the cron keyword and not the actual pipeline.
Searching inside a project for cron

As the search bar only supports searching for code, work item, wiki and package. You can search work items linked to the designated Pipeline instead of searching Pipeline directly.
When you create a Pipeline in a classic mode, you can make “Automatically link new work in this build” and “Create work item on failure” enable.
Then a work item linked to the designated Pipeline is created when the Pipeline builds.
According to the Microsoft document : Get started with search, so far the search results don’t support pipelines searching from either organisation page or project page (only support code, work item, wiki and package).
