Search by File names in visual studio 2013

Question

I want to search for file names ending with 'E' and having file extension as .h in visual studio 2013. I know there is ctrl+shift+F dialog but it doesn't search for file names. Similarly ctrl+, dumps everything even file contents. I just want to search for file names. How to do this?

Thanks

Files in the solution from within the IDE? The solution explorer has a search box at the top ... for an external tool install AgentRansack. — Alex K., Aug 21 '15 at 10:27
But how do I search for file names ending with 'E' from that solution box? I have tried that too — Dhruv Jagetiya, Aug 21 '15 at 10:29

You can use the Search Solution Explorer. Shortcut - Ctrl + ;

This is a small field on top of the Solution Explorer.

Type the following in the field: *E.h.

Needless to say * acts as a wildcard character matching 0 or more characters before E & the file would have an extension .h.

I just checked & found entering E.h would also suffice. In fact entering E.h as a search string also highlights the matching string in the filenames of the solution in the solution explorer. – Ankit Aug 24 '15 at 04:55
