Simple search question

已回答

Hi guys,

I'm very, very new to Idea, but I'm pretty familiar with Eclipse (especially STS).

I'm looking for "search in all files" feature. Based on what I read I believed it is Shift+Shift shortcut, but it is not working as expected for me.

I have a property file, with "app.jdbc.driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" in it, but when I type "app.jdbc.driver" in dialog shown after Shift+Shift, the file is not there. In STS there was also a line where it occurred (makes the decision easier), can I achieve the same in Idea?

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Martin,

Please try "Edit | Find | Find in Path" action.

Thanks, exactly what I wanted, just confused that "Search Everywhere" is not really searching everywhere and for "Find in Path" I didn't know which path it is searching in... :-D

Martin,

"Search Eveywhere" doesn't search for text.  You could check search areas here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/searching-everywhere.html

We have a request on YouTrack to include text serach in "Search Everywhere": https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-124618

Thanks Yaroslav, from my point of view I have what I was looking for. Maybe the day I'll use "Search Everywhere" will come. At the moment I just agree with comment in a request, that it is a "feature that don't do what people expect from the name".
