Searching in Project View

[l4j]

Having a few issues being able to find files in Project View (my project has thousands of files). Is there any way to be able to easily search for a particular filename in the project view??

Thanks!

Hello,

The file tree of the Project view is searchable: click on a node of the tree and type the first letters of the name of the node which you want to locate in the set of child elements of the clicked node. Typing the first letters of the name does a fast search for the first node that matches the typed characters and moves the selection of the tree to the matched node. This search method descends in the tree level by level and you have to know (or guess by successive attempts) the path to the needed file.

Other method is to open the Find/Replace in Files dialog with the toolbar button with the same name or with the action with the same name from menu Find. This dialog has an option Project files which runs the search on all the project files and you can enter in the Text to find field a string which you know that the needed file contains so that the search returns that file in the list of results.
