How to easily find/search in IDE(specially in IntelliJ), which methods returns int type and also takes string as parameter in java?

Question

so if I put the keywords.. return type:int, parameter:String (something like this) it show results such as void int Integer.parseInt(String)

Hope I could explain what I'm looking for.

Answer 1

I don't think there is a way to search methods by its signature(arguments + return type). There was a bit similiar question here: IntelliJ: find method by signature

Invoking ctrl+shift+space on:

Function<String, Integer> f = 

returns only String::hashCode, String::length, and Integer::new. It misses Integer.parseInt and probably thousands of other methods that have same signature. The huge amount of possible results is probably a reason why such search isn't am IDE feature.

Answer 2

You might want to try Structural Search and Replace (Edit | Find | Search Structurally...). There you can use a pattern like the following:

int $method$(String $param$);

to find all methods which return an int and take one String parameter.
