Search & Navigation

ReSharper | Options | Environment | Search & Navigation

This page of ReSharper options allows you to adjust ReSharper's features related to Navigation and Search.

ItemDescription
General
Enable 'Search Everywhere' If this check box is selected the Search Everywhere/Go to Type command searches for types, symbols, and files; if it is cleared, it only searches for types.
Integrate Go to Text into Search Everywhere

By default, navigation to text is integrated into Search Everywhere (Ctrl+N) — ReSharper will show textual occurrences matching the query string in the end of the results list, after all matching types, symbols, and files. You can disable this behavior by clearing this check box.
If this option is disabled, you can navigate to text by pressing Ctrl+N three times.

Enable 'Smart Go to Declaration' If this check box is selected, you can enjoy usage-aware behavior of the Go to Declaration command. if it is cleared, Go to Declaration can be only invoked on symbol usages to go to its declaration.
Remember last search

ReSharper can remember the last input that you used to find something with Search Everywhere/Go to Type, Go To File, and Go to Text actions. When this option is selected, ReSharper will also use your current selection in the editor as the initial search query. For example, you can select a file name in a string and then press Ctrl+Shift+N to search for files in your solution that match this name.

Go to Usage: if there is only one result, navigate without displaying the list If this check box is selected and a single usage is found by the Go to Usage feature, the pointer is transferred to the usage right away.
Go to Base/Inheritor: if there is only one result, navigate without displaying the list If this check box is selected and a single occurrence is found by either Go to Base Symbols or Go to Derived Symbols, the pointer is transferred to the occurrence right away.
Rich mouse navigation in the editor If this check box is selected, you can navigate to declaration of a symbol by Ctrl-clicking any of its usages in the editor and navigate to implementation of a symbol by Ctrl+Alt-clicking symbols.
Go to Declaration with Ctrl+click
The main menu commands and the Ctrl+B/Ctrl+Shift+Alt+B shortcuts stay available regardless of this setting.
Open new files in preview tab from everywhere If this check box is selected, every time a navigation or search command opens a new file, it opens in the Preview tab.
Find generic type usages behavior This selector allows you to choose how the Find Usages feature searches for generic type usages.

When searching for usages of generic types such as IFoo<string>, you may actually want to find either all usages of IFoo<> or usages of the exact generic substitution IFoo<string> only.

Find Results window
Expand search results tree by default If this check box is selected, whenever a ReSharper search feature (e.g. Finding Usages or Structural Search and Replace) derives results that can be presented as a tree structure, all branches of that tree are expanded in the Find Results window.
Merge occurrences on a single line If this check box is enabled, several search matches on the same line are displayed as a single result in the search results list in the Find Results window
Open preview tab for selected item If this check box is selected, the files are opened in the Preview tab when you double-click the results in the Find Results window.
Elements to skip
In this section, you can specify a list of files and folders that will be ignored by Navigation by Name commands.
Source Browsing URIs
Upsource URI If you use JetBrains Upsource for code review and repository browsing, you can specify a URI to your Upsource installation in this field. This will allow you to quickly copy the Upsource link for the current file using the Copy Fully-qualified Name feature.
If your project in Upsource corresponds to the Visual Studio solution name, the URI should be https://[yourUpsorceServer]/. If the Upsource project name differs, the URI should be https://[yourUpsorceServer]/[UpsourceProjectName]/.
Source Browsing URI If you use Roslyn-based source browser for code repository browsing, you can specify a URI to your source browser installation in this field. This will allow you to quickly copy the source browser link for the current file using the Copy Fully-qualified Name feature.
