Structural Search help

Actually, using those last settings I managed to "hang" IDEA. I had to kill
it with Task Manager.

I'm trying to find all calls to HttpSession.setAttribute(String string,
Object object);. Obviously, HttpSession is an interface so I need to find
all calls to implementing classes.
My template is: $Instance$.setAttribute($Parameter1$,$Parameter2$)
Variables:
Instance: text is HttpSession and search within type heirarchy is
selected
Parameter1: occurence count min = 1 and max = 1
Parameter2: occurence count min=1 and max = 1, this is focus of search
selected

I'm not getting any results. Any suggestions?

Unless i'm missing something important, i would not use structural search for that (which i have yet to use in fact) but the plain old "Find usages".
You may choose to search in both project and libraries, and also to search for implementing methods .

First of all, the best way to do this particular search is to Ctrl+N, type
"HttpSession", and scroll down to that setAttribute method. Right-click
setAttribute and click "Find Usages"

Anyway, your search might work better if you replace "setAttribute" with
$Method$ which has a text constraint of "setAttribute."

You also probably want the text to be ".*HttpSession" because it's a regular
expression.

Actually, my goal is to find all classes that are inserted into the session.
I thought I could use the "This is the focus of the search" setting on
Parameter2 so my results would only be the classes. Maybe I can't do that?
Just using "Find Usages" returns too much stuff to sort out.
