Disabling the "Non-code usages" in PHPStorm "Find usages"

I'm using the great Find Usages feature in PHPStorm on a daily basis, and search results fall under one of these two categories:

  • Non-code usages
  • Found usages

I'm almost never interested in the non-code usages. Furthermore, when I'm looking for usages of a method called get() or set(), it becomes painfully slow as the non-code usages show thousands of results.

Is it possible to disable the non-code usages, and only return actual code usages?

Solution

  • Click on a function name

    Click on a function name

    Go to Edit, Find, Find Usages Settings...

    Edit | Find | Find Usage Settings

    Uncheck Search for text occurrences, and click Find

    Uncheck Search for text occurrences

    While this is not really a global setting, the setting is remembered after the search, and the next time you'll right click to Find Usages it will be off by default.
