Retrieving a string from all projects

The Retriever is a very powerful tool for formulating fuzzy queries.
Let's try this out by getting information about menu handling. To do so:

Select the Ignore Case check box.
The search is now no longer case-sensitive.
Delete the filter in the Filter field.
In the Retrieve field type

menu , then press Retrieve.
As you can see, there are 1358 matches.

| Note
| For the first query an index is generated for the checkmarked projects, subsequent queries are then much faster.

Let's further restrict the search using the assignment filter:

Press the Filter... button.
The Find and Replace Filters dialog appears.
Select assignment from the regular expression list.
Press Ok.
Notice that there are 72 matches in the project, where a variable called

menu (or similar) is assigned a value.
