When working with Find in Files (CTRL + SHIFT + F) you can choose several result options:
Find results X windows
The find results windows allow you to view and navigate the results of a find operation. Each time you do a find the results will replace the the contents of the previous find. This is why there are two windows available so you can keep from overwriting a find result you may want to keep:
Navigation
You can use F8 and SHIFT + F8 to go to the next and previous items in the results list. It will also show the line of code where the item was found which includes opening closed files if needed:
There are also toolbar buttons in the Find Results windows that allow you to do this as well:
Clear All
You can manually clear the results in a Find Results by clicking on the Clear All button:
Display file names only
This is pretty self-explanatory. It will only show the files names in your results:
Before
After
You can do way more with the displayed results than this. See vstipFind0002 (https://blogs.msdn.com/b/zainnab/archive/2010/01/03/customize-how-search-results-are-displayed-in-the-find-results-window.aspx) for more information.
Keep modified files open after Replace All
This option doesn't apply to Find in Files and is always disabled when doing a find operation. You will see this option discussed when doing Replace in Files.
