File Searches

You can conduct searches for files in the mounted directories, based on object name, text in the file, date, object type, version control system status, or any combination of these five. You can also save sets of search criteria and then use them later.

You can initiate a search of all mounted filesystems by choosing Edit and choosing Search Filesystems. To search a specific directory or package, right-click the directory or package node in the Explorer and choose Find from the contextual menu.

The search returns all matching source files and displays them in the Search Results window as nodes, along with any subnodes they have, as they would be displayed in the Explorer.

You can work with objects in the Search Results window, much as you would in the Explorer, using contextual menus on the nodes to display property sheets, add members to classes, and so on.
