Did you know... How to search from the command line? - #083
Almost all Visual Studio commands can be run via the command line (scope willing). Check out running the find command via the command line (or the Ctrl+/ window - edit.gotocommandline).
Additional Command Line options:
Edit.Find /options - Shows which options are currently set
Edit.Find /reset - clears all options
Some examples:
Edit.Find MainForm /case / proc (Quick Find, match case, in current procedure - <block>)
Edit.Find MainForm /o /m /u /h /l (Quick Find, open documents, match whole word, mark matches, search up, search hidden)
Edit.Replace /doc /all (Quick Replace, replace all, current document)
Edit.FindInFiles btnCancel /lookin:"c:\users\saraf\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\vb samples" /ext:*.vb /text2 (Find In Files, look in the VB Samples folder with files of .vb extension, and show results in Find Results 2 Window)
