Did you know... How to find in files? - #077

And yet another way of searching code in Visual Studio... it's called Find in Files.  It is the most comprehensive way to do a search.

You can press Ctrl+Shift+F to bring up Find in Files (or check the keybindings for Edit.FindInFiles).  Additionally, you can type in text in the search combo box (located on the standard toolbar, also known as the ctrl+d window) and press the Find in Files button to the right, as shown below.

There are a *ton* of options associated with Find and Files.  And you thought we went over a lot of search functionality already.  So, I'll try to focus on the more interesting ones in the upcoming tips.
