Xcode4, I use to be able to select some text and right click and search on that text in xcode3?

Question

In Xcode 3 I use to be able to select some text, right click and search for that text.

However in Xcode 4 this seems to have disappeared ?

Is there a quick alternative instead ?

EDIT I'd select some source code and it would find all occurences in the rest of the source code.

Answer 1

Select text; cmd-E

Then Shift-cmd-F; return

Boom.

Answer 2

You can always try some keyboard shortcuts combination once your text is selected:

• command+C
• command+F (if you want to search in the current file, otherwise shift+command+F to look into the whole project)
• command+V

Then you can iterate through the results with command+G to go forward or shift+command+G to go backward.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Select your text, hit command-E ("use selection for find") and command-G to iterate through results.

Answer 4

Search in workspace (you can read the keyboard abbreviation in Edit -> Find -> find in workspace

Answer 5

Find in Workspace appears to be fundamentally broken in Xcode 4.

Someone else posted a workaround: toggle the Assistant Editor button to enable the menu item. However it still is not available for text in the debug output area.
