Analyze search results
If any of the JetBrains Rider's navigation and search actions produces multiple results, these results can be displayed in the Find window, which provides a lot of ways to analyze the search results.
Some actions, for example Find Usages automatically display the results in this window. For other actions, you can do it manually when a popup with the search results is displayed — click Open in Find Tool Window 
, press Shift+Enter or + on the numeric keypad .
Results of each new navigation or search action are displayed in a new tab of the Find window, so you can easily get back to previous searches.
If you close the Find window, you can always reopen it by choosing in the main menu or by pressing Alt+3. Tabs with search results are preserved until you close the solution.
In contrast to other navigation and search commands, the results of Find in Path Ctrl+Shift+F are by default displayed in the same tab of the Find window. If you want the results of previous textual searches to be preserved in different tabs, click Show Tab Options 
in the bottom left corner of the Find in Path popup and choose Open Results in New Tab:

Group search results
Search results are shown as a tree view, which can be displayed in various hierarchical orders. The default order depends on the initial search, but you can always change it with the grouping buttons on the toolbar.
By default, all results are shown as separate items. Sometimes it can be convenient to display all results found in the same line as a single item. To do so, click Merge Occurrences on the Same Line .png "Themed icon merge screen gray"){kind=icon}
on the toolbar.
You can also group search results by kind of usage - that is, how exactly the target item is used at different places — for example, declaration, invocation, parameter, method return, and so on. To do so, click Occurrence type
