# Finding in Multiple Files and Folders

Figure 5. Find in files dialog

To find in files and/or folders, add all the files and/or folders you want to search in by entering their names in the text box and clicking on the Add button.

Remember, directories are searched recursively. All of the files under the directory, and the files under all the subdirectories, and the files under all of the sub-subdirectories (and so on) are all included in the search.

If you want to remove or edit an entry in the list, select it by clicking on the item. Click on Remove, or make changes in the text box and click on Update.

Clicking on Clear will clear all the entries.

Enter the text you want to search and specify whether the search should be case-sensitive. Click OK to start searching.

The search results will be listed in the message window. Double clicking on them will take you to the file and particular line number where the match has been found. The matching line is also highlighted.
