Is there a way to limit the visual studio search (find and replace window) to certain file types or folders?

+4  A: 

Yes, you can open the find/replace window and write the file types in the "Look at these file types" option and choose the folders in the "..." button of the "Look in" option.

Just to be clear, the "Look at these file types" option is hidden behind the "Find options" expander button.

Thank you. My find/replace window defaulted to "Quick Find". When you mentioned these options I realized that there is a drop down to switch to "Find In Files".
