The In Projects tab, shown in Figure 6.5, allows you to search active projects. This section describes how to use the options in the tab. For brief descriptions of each option in the tab, as well as other options, see "Find Options".

To choose specific projects to search, follow these steps:

1. Choose from the Project pop-up menu the projects to search.

By default, you can search All Projects currently active in the IDE. To search a specific project only, choose its name from the pop-up menu.

2. Choose from the Target pop-up menu the build targets to search.

You can choose one of the following options:

• Choose All Targets to search all build targets of the projects you chose from the Project pop-up menu.
• If you chose All Projects from the Project pop-up menu, you can choose Default Targets to search the default build target of each project.
• To search a specific build target, choose its name. The build targets that appear in the pop-up menu belong to the projects you chose from the Project pop-up menu.

3. Configure the Project sources checkbox as desired.

If you enable the checkbox, the search includes all source-code files that belong to the selected build targets and projects. If you disable the checkbox, the search ignores the source-code files.

4. Configure the Project headers checkbox as desired.

If you enable the checkbox, the search includes all header files that belong to the selected build targets and projects. If you disable the checkbox, the search ignores the header files.

5. Configure the System headers checkbox as desired.

If you enable the checkbox, the search includes all system header files that belong to the selected build targets and projects. If you disable the checkbox, the search ignores the system header files.

6. Configure the Search cached sub-targets checkbox as desired.

If you enable the checkbox, the search includes all cached sub-targets that belong to the selected build targets and projects. If you disable the checkbox, the search ignores the cached sub-targets.

7. Edit the file list as desired.

The file list at the bottom of the In Projects tab shows the files that the IDE will search. This list updates to reflect the changes that you make to other options in the tab. You can select and Delete or Clear files from the list as desired. You can also open a file by double-clicking its name in the list.

8. Click the Find, Find All, Replace, or Replace All button to perform the desired find or find-and-replace operation.

The IDE searches the files listed in the tab for the first occurrence of text that matches the search criteria.

To continue the search in the next file, choose Search > Find In Next File. To continue the search in the previous file, choose Search > Find In Previous File.

For multi-file search operations, a Search Results window appears and shows the search status. You can view individual matches and stop a search in progress. For more information, see "Search Results".

To cancel the find or find-and-replace operation, close the Find in Files window.
