Faster search for files in Netbeans

Is there an existing plugin or tweak that speeds up the "Go To File" search in Netbeans ? Compared to Eclipse, Netbeans search is way too slow specially if one has multiple large size projects.

I know I can use CTRL+O for "Go To Type" but often I need to search for other file types like XMLs, property files etc. across thousands of files in multiple projects.

I installed the Quick Search plugin but even that doesn't search for non Java file types.

To initiate such a file search, do one of the following: Choose Edit | Find in Projects to search all files in all open projects (including project metadata files). In the Projects window, right-click the node for the folder or project that you want to search in and choose Find (or press Ctrl-F).

You can focus on the Project Tree and simply type the file name which you want to looking for. Press Up/Down to select if more than one file match your search.

Or use keyboard shortcut to open the search file form:

  • Windows/Linux:

Alt+Shift+O

  • Mac OS:

Control+Shift+O
