TIP 28: Using Quicksearch to Find Files


When you're working on a large Web site with lots of files, it's hard to quickly locate a specific file, even if you know the filename. The new Quicksearch field in the Files tab of the Site window makes it easy to instantly locate the files you're looking for.

Where Did All My Files Go?

If you look at the Files tab in your Site window, and your heart skips a beat because of all the missing files, it's probably because of Quicksearch. If you're not seeing all the files you expect, make sure the Quicksearch field is empty by clicking the X icon. This will revert your list of files to the normal view.


Just type into the Quicksearch field, in the upper-right corner of the Files tab, and you'll see the list of files filtered to match your search criteria as seen in Figure 28.

The options are pretty self-explanatory, but notice that if you click the magnifying glass icon, there are four different search types: Contains, Is, Begins With, and Ends With. These options make it easy to narrow your search and find the files you need.

To edit a file you find with Quicksearch, just double-click its icon in the filtered list of search results. To revert back to the normal file view, click the X icon next to the Quicksearch field.
