How to count occurrence of a hard coded string in Visual studio?

Question

In Eclipse, i can do this search for a hard coded string, which will tell the count and places where it is occurring.

I couldn't find how to do this in Visual Studio and my google search is not yielding anything on this.

Can someone help?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Press ctrl+f. In find window select "find in files" at the top-left instead of Quick find. This will show the find result in a new window and you will get all statistics at the bottom of window.

Answer 2

As of Visual Studio 2015, you now need to do Ctrl + Shift + F to pull up the full Find in Files menu, which will then give you the stats when you search in the current document.
