Searching a word in multiple file type

I have two questions in notepad++..

  1. I am having problem in searching a function which can be in any file format(for ex: *.c *.h *.ec *.sh etc).. I know in notepad++ there is a option to search in file (find in files Ctrl+Shift+f) but how to provide multiple file format?

  2. When i double click on a word all the matching words gets highlighted. But when i select two or three characters of that word the corresponding matching characters are not highlighted. is there any way to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Question 1:

    • Type Ctrl+Shift+F
    • In the filter field, type: *.c;*.h;*.ec;*.sh or nothing if you don't want to filter.

    Question 2:

    I don't think that is possible.
