"in-line find" plug-in for Visual Studio


Is there a plug-in (or built-in feature) for Visual Studio 2008 to be able to do a quick in-line find in your code?

I am unhappy with the find feature (Ctrl+F). I don't like how it pops up in its own window. I think it would be much better if it was more like the Firefox find. (Try Ctrl+F in Firefox). I like how you start typing and it instantly tries to match what you're typing. Often you don't have to type your full search term before you find what you want.

I am use to FlashDevelop, and think they have good some great search functionality. you can just selected a word in your code and tap F3. It will instantly select the next occurrence of that string.

So is there anything out there with this sort of functionality?


Solution

  • Type Ctrl+I. This is the "inline find" version you want.
