The message keyword in gerrit search might help.

For e.g., to query all patches that have dht as part of their message, 
you can use this URL [1].

This works as long as we follow the practice of including the component 
being modified in the commit log.

Searching by file: requires an upgrade of our gerrit instance [2].
