How can I use IntelliJ-style "Find in Path" instead of the WebStorm "Find in Path"?
The "Find in Path" tool in WebStorm currently doesn't fit my needs. It's inferior to the "Find in Path" tool that's used in other JetBrains IDE's I've used (IntelliJ, PHPStorm, etc.).
(This is *mostly* due to the fact that it constantly searches while you're typing, leading to slowness getting to the actual search you wanted to make. But, there are other issues with it, such as the fact that I have to scroll past hundreds of results from bundle.js to get to my actual source code. That would be fixed if results were shown in a tree view.)
Is there a way to just switch WebStorm over to the "Find in Path" tool that comes standard with IntelliJ?

Hi there,
It's the same (if you compare the same IDE versions) as it is platform-wide functionality.
Just hit Ctrl+Enter (or click on that button on the bottom) to get search results in standard "Search Results" tool window that you used to get in the past.
Thanks, I see now that I was using 2016 IntelliJ, but 2017 WebStorm.
Note that you can switch to the old dialog (available in 2016.x) by deselecting ide.find.as.popup in Registry: Help | Find action, type Registry to locate it, find the option there and deselect the checkbox
