Search Everywhere

Last modified: 12 August 2022

Ctrl+T or double Shift

Use this command to navigate to the following destinations: types, symbols, files, recent files, textual occurrences, actions, tool windows, run configurations, preferences, Git branches, commits, tags, messages, and so on. The list of suggestions appears as soon as you invoke this feature and initially includes your recent files.

Start the search

If the item you navigate to belongs to the current solution, JetBrains Rider opens the corresponding file in the editor and places the caret at the symbol declaration. If it is in referenced libraries, JetBrains Rider navigates according to the settings defined on the Tools | External Symbols page of JetBrains Rider settings Ctrl+Alt+S.

tip

To disable the Double-Shift mapping for this action, select Disable double modifier key shortcuts on the Advanced Settings page of the IDE settings Ctrl+Alt+S

Search for items with compound names

Case-insensitive CamelHumps is supported here: for example, you can type "ch" instead of "ColorHelper".

Search by fully-qualified names

If you want to navigate to a type or member by its fully-qualified name, type parts of the 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.

Search textual occurrences

By default, navigation to text is integrated into Search Everywhere — JetBrains Rider will show textual occurrences matching the query string at the bottom of the result list, after all matching types, symbols, and files. Switch to the Text tab to show only textual matches and ignore other results. You can disable this behavior by clearing Show text search results in Search Everywhere on the Advanced page of JetBrains Rider settings .

You can also start textual search by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E or choosing Navigate | Text... from the menu.

Generalize the search query

You can also use wildcards when specifying the name: '*' (asterisk) represents zero or more characters; '+' (plus), ':' (semicolon), '.' (dot), and '\' (backslash) separate parts of the type's fully qualified name.

Calculate mathematical expressions

In the All tab of the popup, you can also calculate mathematical expressions and then press Enter to copy the result to the clipboard:

You can use basic arithmetic operators — +, -, *, /, as well as ^ for power — and basic math functions: sqrt(), sin(), cos(), tan().
