How to search in all the files of a project in IntelliJ Idea?

Question

I'd like to find all occurrences of a particular string in all the code files of a project of mine. Search/replace panels popping up on Ctrl+F/Ctrl+R don't seem to offer to chose the search domain. Is there such a facility available in IntelliJ Idea?

how to search for work with regards to starts with , cause am searching for int event = 0 but it shows private int event = 0 — shareef, Sep 25 '17 at 12:30

For those using the eclipse keymap: Ctrl-H. – Stijn Geukens Jun 12 '13 at 13:46

Ctrl + Shift + F works also on Mac OS – Raymond Chenon Feb 11 '14 at 10:50

for me it's `cmd` + `shift` + `F` on Mac OS – nburk May 04 '15 at 09:08

For Mac, there're 2 keymaps, `Mac OS X 10.5+` and `Mac OS X`. If you use the `10.5+` keymap, then use `command` instead of `ctrl`. – duleshi Apr 06 '16 at 12:17

In recent versions, the name of this keybind has been changed to "Find in files" – nios Aug 17 '21 at 08:51
Yes, the keyboard shortcut does depend on your keymap preference setting. Look in the "Edit>Find>Find in files" menu item to find the configured shortcut. – pajato0 Oct 15 '21 at 04:47

To clarify, the default Keymap for Find in Path on Mac OS X is also Ctrl + Shift + F

@nburk is correct, and this answer is not (anymore?) the default. – spac Feb 15 '19 at 01:30

For mac users, find in path is: ⌘ + ⇧ + F (Command + Shift + F).
