Searching in Files

The Find in Files dialog searches for matches in all the files that are specified by the given filters. The Filters input allows you to filter be name and extension, and is a space separated list. It will automatically use the extensions associated with the language of the currently opened file, but can easily be overridden (see Languages). The Directory field will allow you type fill In the directory to search, and by default is the directory of the active file (for more info, see Preferences).
When In all sub-folders is checked, additionally all sub-directories are scanned for search results aswell. When In hidden folders is checked, hidden sub-directories will also be checked (by default, these will be skipped). Find them all will initiate the search.

The results of this search will be displayed in a dockable panel (see Dockable Windows for more information). The results will be sorted on a per file and per line basis, and can be collapsed for each file (by doubleclicking the filename) (also see Folding). Doubleclicking on a result will open that file and go to its location, additionally adding a bookmark there (which will be removed if another result is selected, see Bookmarks).
The results will be colored depending on the type of result. See also Styler Configurator for information on how to change these colors.
