IntelliJ structural search generics

Question

Maybe I do not understand IntelliJs structural search not.

I want to find all occurences which match the following example pattern:

Map<String, String> mapper = new HashMap<>()

My not working approach was

Map<$a$,$b$> $c$ = new HashMap<>()

Does structural search find it and how?

Using a pattern like the following works for me:

$map$<$a$,$b$> $c$ = new $hashmap$<>();

$map$ text/regexp: java\.util\.Map
$hashmap$ text/regexp: java\.util\.HashMap

I'm not sure why your pattern didn't work. It is probably a bug.

Better than nothing and seems to be a good work-around. Difficult for me is that I can not filter on "MAP" as type before the generics. :-| – EhmKah a.k.a. Michael Krauße Nov 24 '15 at 08:16
How do you mean? My query filters on java.util.Map (Edit Variables and define text/regexp as `java\.util\.Map`). – Bas Leijdekkers Nov 24 '15 at 09:24
Did not saw the possibility to add a regular expression to value of variable. Now it works for me. Thank you – EhmKah a.k.a. Michael Krauße Nov 24 '15 at 09:55
