Go to Symbol

Start the search

Note that this command works in global scope, that is you do not need to bring your focus to the editor to invoke it.

If the item you navigate to belongs to the current solution, ReSharper opens the corresponding file in the editor and places the caret at the symbol declaration. If it is in referenced libraries, ReSharper navigates according to the settings defined on the Tools | External Sources page of ReSharper options (Alt+R, O).

note

Whenever collecting items to match the entered string takes significant time, ReSharper displays an hourglass icon to the right of your search string. Substantial delays are to be expected when performing search before ReSharper processes the solution completely.

Search for items with compound names

You can narrow down the list of items using CamelHumps. It is case-insensitive, so there is no difference between rtbf and RTBF. ReSharper always shows recently visited items at top of the list and highlights them in green.

ReSharper can also find items that match parts of the query in any order. For example, a search for exactMatching will match isMatchingExactly.

Search by fully-qualified names

If you want to navigate to a symbol in a particular type, you can specify parts of the type's fully qualified name and member name and split them with spaces or dots. Consider the example below:

Search for exact matches

If you want to search for an exact match, use quotes: looking up "Collection" will return Collection but will not return FilteredCollection, IterateCollection(), and so on. However, while using exact search to filter out compound names, you can still use wildcard symbols * and ? to allow exactly as much variation as you need.
