Its a basic question I have a winform project having lots of file. I want to search a keyword through all the files with out opening each file. How can I do it?
Visual Studio 17.2 Preview 3 introduces a brand-new All-In-One search experience that merges the existing VS Search (Ctrl + Q) and Go To (Ctrl + T) to allow you to search both your code and Visual Studio features quicker and easier than ever, all in the same place.
Search across files. VS Code allows you to quickly search over all files in the currently opened folder. Press Ctrl+Shift+F and enter your search term. Search results are grouped into files containing the search term, with an indication of the hits in each file and its location.
In Visual Studio 2022 and later, you can set Visual Studio to always keep results. Go to Tools > Options > General > Find and Replace, and select the checkbox for Keep search results by default.
The command executed by Visual Studio search is Window. QuickLaunch and you may see this feature referred to as quick search or quick launch. Unlike other search features such as Find in Files or Search Solution Explorer, search in Visual Studio results include IDE features, menu options, file names, and more.
Ctrl + Shift + F => Type what you want, by default it searches the whole solution.
Hit Ctrl+Shift+F
for the "Find In Files" dialog, then make sure that "Entire Solution" is set.
On the top of the solution explorer tab there is a search box
