Retrieving a string from all projects

The Retriever is a very powerful tool for formulating fuzzy queries.
Let's try this out by getting information about menu handling. To do so:

  1. Clear the Filter field.
  2. In the Search field type menu , then press Retrieve.
    As you can see, there are 518 matches in 24 files.

        Note
        After the first retrieve, the source code is cached and all further queries are much faster. You can switch off caching in your Preferences.

    Let's further restrict the search using the assignment filter:

  1. Press the Filter... button.
    The Find and Replace Filters dialog appears.
  2. From the list of regular expression filters, select assignment and press Ok.
    Notice that there are 26 matches in the project where a variable called
    menu or similar is assigned a value.
