This is one thing that's long driven me nuts. Sometimes I want to search the entire project for some string, and about a billion matches occur in JavaScript files, making the search unusable. Is there a way to specify file types to include in the search?
It's not how hard you push in life, but who you push, that makes the difference between success and running for your life.
If you click the arrow beside Quick Find and select Find in Files, you can select the file types to search in. It's a comboBox under "Look at these file types:". At least that's the way it works in VS 2010. Hope this helps you!

Thanks. I never saw that option. It's exactly what I needed.
