I'm using Xcode 5, and want to find a word (ex:variable name) not by substring match but by exact match (or prefix match). In file wide search (Command-F), I can use Textual search or regular expression search by clicking the arrow button just right of the glass icon and choosing "Edit Find Options...". But, I cannot find any option to search on project wide search ("Find in Project", Shift-Command-F), in Xcode 5. One thing I can do is run "grep -w" on Terminal.app. But, isn't there any way to search word in Project inside Xcode?
Well it seems that the search tool in Xcode 5 is a bit confusing for a lot of people. In my opinion Apple should have done a better work letting the user know of what is clickable and what not... That being said, here is how you access the different options:
Once we switch to the Find Navigator
we see 3 components (Find
>Text
>Containing
)
Now, you can click on any of them to select between different options (à la jumpbar)
And finally you can also click the In Workspace
(or In Project
) to change the scope of your search
