Fuzzy file searching by directory?

I'm attempting to use RubyMine, but there's one feature that's consistently killing my productivity. I use this all the time in Sublime.

Say I have a hundred index.html.haml files strewn across my view folder. In Sublime Text 2, I can search for /app/views/orders/index.html.haml by hitting Cmd+t, typing "order index" and hitting enter.

But in RubyMine so far, you can't type order because directories aren't included in the search index. You can type "index.html.haml", but then I see all of the index views, and order is down around #80.

I also really prefer being able to type a portion of a file name, like the first letter of each matching file. Sublime Text 2 and PeepOpen allow you to do this easily; I'd love to have it in RubyMine.

TL:DR; Can you search for files by directories in RubyMine / IntelliJ?

Solution

  • I use the feature "Search in Everywhere" in RubyMine.
