2.5.1.4. File search

Important points:

  • Only file search is supported, not directory search.
  • Search time is limited to 10 seconds. Only what is found in that time will appear in the results. For longer searches, use console.
  • Only the first 150 files found are displayed in the results.
  1. Navigate to the directory whose contents you want to search.
  2. In the toolbar, click 🔍:
  3. Specify your search criteria and click "Search":
    • "Search by full filename or mask" — search by filename. The default value is *.*, which means any file name with any extension. You can use masks: for example, ex*e.p* will find files like example.php or ex-xe.py.
    • "Search in content (UTF-8)" — search for certain words or parts of them in file content. The search is performed without using masks: for example, ex will find files with text example and ex-xe, but if you specify ex*e or exxe, files with text example and ex-xe will not be found.
    • "Date of change" — search by the date of the last modification of the file. Available options:
      • "no limits" — last modification time of a file does not matter.
      • "for day" — file was modified no more than 24 hours ago.
      • "for two days" — file was modified no more than two days ago.
      • "for week" — file was modified no more than a week ago.
      • "for month" — file was modified no more than one month ago.

As a result of the search, the list of found files matching the specified criteria will be displayed in the form. Clicking on the path will open the file in the built-in editor, clicking on the folder icon will navigate to the directory with the file in the file manager panel.
