| <h1>Searching for C/C++ elements</h1> |
| |
| <p>It is recommended that you perform searches on successfully compiled |
| programs to ensure the accuracy of search results. It is important to familiarize yourself with the correct search syntax |
| to use to complete an effective search. It is also important to ensure that |
| include paths and symbols are correctly defined. For more information, see |
| <a href="cdt_t_proj_paths.htm">Including paths and symbols</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>See <a href="../concepts/cdt_c_search.htm">C/C++ search</a>, for more information on:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>What you can search for</li> |
| <li>How to limit your search</li> |
| <li>How to use wildcard characters in your search</li> |
| <li>Syntax examples</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>To search for an element in your project:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Do one of the following:</li> |
| <ul><li>In the C/C++ Projects view, select the files and/or projects that you want |
| to include in your search.</li> |
| <li>In the C/C++ Projects view or in the Outline view, select the element |
| that you want to search |
| for.</li> |
| <p>In the Search dialog box, the Search string box will be populated with the |
| selected element name and type.</p> |
| <li>In the C/C++ editor select the name of the element that you want to search for.</li> |
| <p>In the Search dialog box, the Search string box will be populated with the |
| selected element name.</p></ul> |
| <li>Click <b>Search > C/C++</b>.</li> |
| <li>In the <b>Search string</b> box, type a search string.</li> |
| <li>To make your search case sensitive, select the <b>Case sensitive</b> box .</li> |
| <li>Select an element in the <b>Search For</b> box.</li> |
| <li>Select a search limiter in the <b>Limit To</b> box.</li> |
| <li>Do one of the following: |
| <ul><li>To search all projects in your workspace, select <b>Workspace</b> .</li><li> |
| To search selected resources, select <b>Selected Resources</b>.</li> |
| <li>To search a predefined group of resources in your workspace, select <b>Working Set</b> |
| .</li></ul> |
| <p>Search results are displayed in the Search view. Double-click a search |
| result in the Search view to open the corresponding resource. The |
| search element is highlighted.</p> |
| </ol> |
