Searching through your project

If you have a big project, it may be difficult to locate a particular file within the hierarchy. You can perform an incremental search to find your files quickly. To perform the search, first expand the projects that contain the files you are searching for. To expand the projects, click on the plus signs or click the Expand button ( ). Then, use one of the following keystrokes:

Ctrl+f searches forward for the filename.

Ctrl+b searches backward for the filename.

When you type a key combination, the first instance of the matching filename is highlighted. To find the next match, repeat the key combination. When you are done, press Escape to cancel the search mode.

Note that only files which have been expanded will be found. This is why it is important to expand the relevant projects first, by clicking on the plus signs, or using the Expand button.
