Did you know... How to customize what files to find in? - #078

With the Find in Files window showing, change the Look In: combo box to anything except for open docs and current docs.  This will enable the Look at these file types: option to select what files to search for.

And for more advanced searching...

There's a "..." button next to the Look In: combo box. 

Choose Search Folders Button

Pressing this will pop up the Choose Search Folders.  Here you can create a set of folders to search in.

Choose Search Folders Dialog

And now you can find your custom folder set as a Look in: option.
