Easier way to search for file/folder names
I often have to find a file or folder by name (sometimes by partial name), and using Navigate > Find is proving cumbersome. It's nice to have a little window that shows results, but if I click outside of PHPStorm it removes the window and I have to start over. This means when I start my search, I have to go get a cup of coffee or play tennis or take a hike until it's done.
Is there some easier way to do this? In Eclipse, I just do a search for a file, and it runs in the background, and it pins and it shows a list of results in its own tab that I can move around or attach or ignore.

Hi there,
1) You can try disabling "Hide navigation popups on focus lose" in "Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance"
2) Use "Pin" button on "Navigate | File..." popup -- once search is done it will move all search results into standard "Find results" panel
Don't really have a clue what you are talking about -- on all my projects, even if I include folders with few thousands of files .. the search by name is FAST.
They're being hidden? I'm fine if they're being hidden but I'm not seeing where they go.
I'll use the Pin function from now on.
File name searches take a while on our system because we have so many files. I'm not sure if Windows Search is faster, but I'm debating between using PHPStorm or Eclipse.
In this particular case it means "closed". But as soon as it gets invoked again it shows me the last search and results (almost?) instantaneously... so it is indeed feels like it was just hidden.
Out of curiosity -- how many files do yo have there? Are they on local HDD .. or maybe some remote/encrypted disk? Even then -- file names just like class names are usually cached so search should be fast.
