Is there any shortcut in Matlab comparable to Search Everywhere in the JetBrains universe or Control-P in Sublime?
A shortcut that searches for files/ folder/ functions etc. in the current directory and makes it possible to switch there by pressing enter?
I think this is what you are looking for: Find Files and Folders. And you probably want to use the advanced features:
To conduct an advanced search for files, you can use the Find Files
tool. Use the Find Files tool to:
Search for specific text in file names and within files
Include or exclude specified file types from your search
Search in specified folders
Exclude large files from your search
To open the Find Files tool, on the Home tab, in the File section,
click Find Files. Enter your search criteria in the dialog box that
opens.
The keyboard shortcut shoud be CTRL+SHIFT+F but I'm not sure.

I'm searching for a particular piece of text and using the Search functionality within VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+F). I type some text in the search box and it shows the results only from files that are open already. How do I search for all the files within that workspace / open folder?
(I'm quite new to VS Code so this might be something simple)
Maybe you have the 'Use Exclude Settings And Ingore Files' toggled?
Here's a demonstration of the feature in IntelliJ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtnI2doW6XE)?
In case the video isn't viewable, basically the user presses a key-combo, and a dialog box pops up that will reactively response and filter based on the string the user starts to type in. It will show classes and files (and much more) matching what you've typed in. I won't go in to all the details, as I'm not looking for an exact match to this functionality -- I'd be happy if it just searched based on file name for starters! Anything to prevent me from having to browse for a filename in the project Explorer to open the file in vs code when I want to switch to the given file.
I saw How do I search for files in Visual Studio Code? - for me (on Linux) Ctrl-E just shows the file I currently have open under the project explorer (useful sometimes, but not what I'm looking for).
Cmd + P opens a search bar for files (doc),
Cmd + T opens a search bar for symbols (doc),
Are you just looking for CTRL-P That brings up a file list. Which is searchable. You can then tab down and right arrow opens up that file. Enter will open a split editor on the file.
Also, if you CTR-p and then type ? you will get a list of keys you can hit such as to "Go to Symbols" and much more in your file or workspace.
And look at CTRL-R it probably does exactly what you are looking for as far as files go.
Anyone know how to ignore the build folder when doing a 'Find in Projects' on NetBeans (v6.9.1).
Currently the Search results pane shows all results from src folders but also those from the build folder so if your project contains a lot of JSP files for example, many results are duplicated...
I think I've figured out how to ignore the build folder of projects when doing a 'Find in Projects' in NetBeans 6.9.1:
Go to Tools->Options-Miscellaneous.
Click the Files tab.
In Files Ignored by the IDE, edit the Ignored Files Pattern
regular expression and include the build folder. For example, on
my system I simply added build thus:
^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn|build)$|~$|^\.(?!htaccess$).*$
Click OK to save the options and close the dialog.
(Nerd Note: Took me exactly 1 year to the day to figure this out!)
You may be able to get similar behavior with a multiple node selection search.
From the 'Files' Window (Found in the Window/Files Menu), expand all
of your projects and select all of them with a Ctrl+A (PC) or
Command+A (Mac).
Then with Control(PC) or Command(Mac) key held down, click the
folders that you don't want to search.
Finally, use Ctrl+F(PC) or Command+F(Mac) to open a search, enter the
text you're looking for, and then choose 'Selection ( # nodes)' under
the Scope where the '#' symbol is the number of folders you just selected.
It is a little more manual than applying a filter, but you should be able to better control your results.
In my Eclipse project, I have a mixture of java files, xml, and various files with different file extensions. I want to perform searches on a regular basis on everything except for the java files, to look for certain settings.
Is there a way to tell Eclipse to search all the files, EXCEPT the one's with a .java extension?
The best thing you can do inside the file search dialog is to press the button "Choose" for the "File name patterns", then press "select all" and deselect "*.java".
But beware! This doesn't look for all file extensions in your project and lists them. It's a predefined set of extensions.
Yes, in your file search dialog, there is a "Choose" button next to the "file name patterns" textbox. It allows you to filter Select Types. After selection, you should just realize it is just regex of everything except for *.java.
how can I search something in all files in a given folder in eclipse
also how can I search up, it's seems like only going down the document
sometimes I am working on single files, so there is no project defined. I know about the search in project feature
If you go to Search>Files... you'll have an advanced search dialogue where you amongst others can specify the scope to search in (all of the workspace, selected resources only etc.). Is this what you're looking for?
And also, if searching through a single file (+), you have the standard search dialogue where you can specify search direction to either forward or backward.
Search forward in file: Edit -> Incremental Find Next
Search backward in file: Edit -> Incremental Find Previous
Search in multiple files: Search -> File -> Containing Text.
Search files in a specific subdirectory: Select the sub-directory -> Search -> File -> Scope: Selected resources.
I reccomend that you learn the short-cuts for these tasks. (Key-combination is found right beside the menu-item.)
When you are searching "Java Resources" with "File Search" with "Selected resources" checkbox checked - you will not get any results.
To search recursively a chosen folder for any files:
Select folder (it has to be folder)
Select FileSearch with "Selected resources" checked.
Good luck
Use the Remote Search Feature. Here you can browse for local folders. Some stupid name...
If default eclipse search is not sufficient for your needs, eclipse instasearch plugin is a very useful plugin for search needs inside eclipse.
It is based on lucene. This is also available in eclipse marketplace.
It has extensive feature set.
Instantly shows search results
Shows a preview using relevant lines
Periodically updates the index
Matches partial words (e.g. case in CamelCase)
Opens and highlights matches in files
Searches JAR source attachments
Supports filtering by extension/project/working set
If you want to search for anything without telling Eclipse what it is, use ctrl+shift+L (QuickEclipseSearch). This is the quickest way.
You can also use 'file search' (press ctrl+H) and navigate into file search using left and right arrrows on the top right corner of your windows. Or type 'file search' in the 'Quick Access' window.
If you are looking for a specific method, package, field,type or constructor use JAVA search.
If you want search in a particular file then just press ctr+F and type whatever you want to search in that current file.
Read all the answers above but couldn't figure out the solution working for me. Finally gave a thought process keeping in mind all the solutions provided here and voila it worked for what I'm looking here. Thanks stackoverflow, this site is awesome.
Solution I worked out:
Goto Navigator window in eclipse, select the folder where you want to perform the search operation, now click Alt a & f (shortcut) which opens the file search window. Now select the option "Selected resources" in 'scope' section and hit 'Search' button.
In MAC I use, control+H (^H), it opens a window, where you can search for any text within all the files.
