Menu
In Eclipse it is possible to browse through a stack of previous search results. In IDEA it seems I can only have one set of search results, and if I want to do another one, I'm destined to lose the first set. Is there a way around this?

Place your caret on the word or text range you want to find and select multiple occurrences of and then use ⌃G (macOS), Alt+J (Windows/Linux) to find and select the next occurrence of the word. This is a case-sensitive search.
From the main menu, select Edit | Find | Find in Files Ctrl+Shift+F . In the search field, type your search string. Alternatively, in the editor, highlight the string you want to find and press Ctrl+Shift+F . IntelliJ IDEA places the highlighted string into the search field.
Select a symbol for which you want to find usages, right-click the symbol, and select Find Usages from its context menu or press Alt+F7 . Check the results in the Find tool window. ) the results by files, packages, directories, and so on. on the toolbar in the Find tool window or press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F7 .
Use ⇧⇧ (macOS), or Shift+Shift (Windows/Linux), to bring up the Search Everywhere dialog. You can search across Classes, Files, Symbols and Actions. You can also use forward slash to filter the results to a specific area, such as /editor.
If you're using the 'Find in Path' method to search (CRTL + shift + F on windows) then you'll see in the dialog box a checkbox near the bottom right labelled 'Open in new tab'. Checking that checkbox allows you to have multiple search results each in their own tab.
