Simple search question

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".
