Search Combo Box

Ever been looking for an item and just want to quickly search for it?  The Class View has a search capability that helps make that happen.  Just go to the Class View Search Combo box (CTRL + K, CTRL + V):

 

Type in the keyword to search for and press ENTER:

 

It will search for the keyword in items and show the results while highlighting the last instance where the keyword was found in an item.  Note that the search is a "contains" operation so it will look for anything that has the keyword(s) anywhere in the item.

 

 

 

View.ClassViewSearch Command

If you want a quick way to do this by running a command, you can use View.ClassViewSearch with any keyword(s) to find items.  First, go someplace you can run a command.  I prefer to use the Find Combo box (CTRL + /) to run my commands (see vstipTool0070 for more options):

 

Type in "View.ClassViewSearch [keyword(s)]".  In this case, I'll look for the word "task":

 

I just press ENTER and we get our results in the Class View:

 

 

 

Use a Previous Search

You can redo any previous search by using the dropdown list from the Search Combo box:

 

 

 

Clear Your Search

Regardless of which method you use, you can always clear your search by clicking on the "Clear Search" button:
