visual studio code - How to search for text in all files in a directory?

Question

Is there a way to search for text in all files in a directory using VS Code?

I.e., if I type find this in my search, it will search through all the files in the current directory and return the files that matched.

Answer 1

You can do Edit, Find in Files (or Ctrl+Shift+F - default key binding, Cmd+Shift+F on MacOS) to search the Currently open Folder.

There is an ellipsis on the dialog where you can include/exclude files, and options in the search box for matching case/word and using Regex.
