Visual Studio Tip / Trick #013 English Transcription:
Today’s Visual Studio trick of the day is a re-post of Sara Ford’s original trick published in August of 2007. Trick no 13 continues talk of the quick find option which we talked about yesterday with [CTRL]+[D] to access the quick find list. And you should know the you can customize this with the [CTRL]+[F] find options. What’s that going to do is to bring a Find & Replace dialog and inside this dialog see there is Quick find option and then underneath the options for match case, match whole word, search up, hidden text and then the option to use regular expression or wild card. So your quick find will use these options, Let's press [ESC] and then press [F3] to search again and you will notice that both the words function were found both lower case and upper case with my [F3] search repeat, if I do a [CTRL]+[F] and just select match case than press [ESC] and [CTRL]+[D] to get back to my quick find window and press [ENTER], you will notice that the lower case function was skipped because we have the find option match case turned on so you can turn on all these match case, match whole word etc, and your quick find option will abide by those rules.
