Cannot search for a commit using a partial hash ID

Problem

In IDE's Git tool window (log pane), searching for commits using a partial hash does not yield results, requiring the entire hash to be entered.

Cause

The current implementation requires the full commit hash to perform a successful search operation within this context.

Resolution

Currently partial search for commit id's is not implemented. As a workaround, consider using the Go to Hash/Branch/Tag option in the Git log pane. This feature supports finding commits by entering a prefix of the hash ID. Follow the provided steps:

1. Navigate to the Git Log pane.
2. Use the Go to Hash/Branch/Tag search function.
3. Input the starting characters of a desired commit hash.
