If VAX could add something to the context menu for a solution explorer folder item that allows me to search in that folder, I'll be your best friend forever! #128516;
UE solutions have all of the engine's code in a single project, so some of the workflow shortcuts for searches available in VS are not very useful in UE solutions (like search in Current Project). The equivalent for a vcxproj scope in a UE solution would be a UE module. Something I find myself wanting to do pretty frequently is constrain my search for a symbol or some text string to a specific module's folder. A module folder in UE is any folder that has a *.Build.cs file in it, and they're usually direct children of "Source" folders (though there can be additional intermediate folders in the folder hierarchy as well).
A way to search a specific folder from solution explorer, or a way to choose a specific UE module to use as the "Look in" value would be a nice way for VAX to add some value, and it doesn't seem like Microsoft has much interest in improving VS's search functionality. |
what could possibly go wrong? :D |

Improvement for searching large UE projects
