## Quickly Navigate and Find Things in Your Source

### Project Window

The Project Window helps you quickly find the parts of your code by separating that database into lists of Files, Classes, Functions, Objects, Types, and Macros, as well as providing a directory browser of the source to your project. It also includes an embedded Information Browser that automatically shows all known information about the selected entity.

### Locator Window

The Project Window provides a quick way to find major items that were declared and used in your project. However, some items such as local parameters, variables, and unresolved variables (used but not declared in the processed source) are filtered from the Project Window. To search or browse the entire database about your project use the Locator Window.

Browse all the database entities in the Locator Window by selecting Search->Browse Entities or search for entities matching a particular text or regex string using Search->Locate Entities. Entities listed within the Locator Window can also be sorted or filtered further. For more details, refer to Locator Window - Find or Browse Entities.

As in any other window, the right-click menu is also active as shown below

Double click on any of the search results to display the Source View where the string occurs.
