sublimetext - Search in all files in a project in Sublime Text 3

Question

Is there a way to search for a string in all files inside a project in Sublime Text 3? The string is not a method.

Answer 1

You can search a directory using Find → Find in files. This also includes all opened tabs.

The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl?+F on non-Mac (regular) keyboards, and ??+F on a Mac.

You'll be presented with three boxes: Find, Where and Replace. It's a regular Find/Find-replace search where Where specifies a file or directory to search. I for example often use a file name or . for searching the current directory. There are also a few special constructs that can be used within the Where field:

<project>,<current file>,<open files>,<open folders>,-*.doc,*.txt

Note that these are not placeholders, you type these verbatim. Most of them are self-explanatory (e.g. -*.doc excludes files with a .doc extension).

Pressing the ... to the right will present you with all available options.

After searching you'll be presented with a Find results page with all of your matching results. To jump to specific lines and files from it you simply double-click on a line.
