Search file in Xcode

Question

Hello,

I use xcode search to quick open files in project. It works very good when the files are in current project, but when I have one project that includes other sub-projects it searches only in files from current project. Is it possible to search a file in all files from all sub-projects? I don't like to open a sub-project every time when I want to search a file that is not included in main project.

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand the difference between a project and a sub-project, but Shift+Cmd+F will bring up the search whose scope is everything included in the project window and not just the active file. If you are talking about linked files in other projects, I think you're still stuck opening those projects to search.

You could include the source in your project without copying it or adding it to the target.

Or have a look at XCode 4 if you are a registered developer.
