"in-line find" plug-in for Visual Studio

Question

Is there a plug-in (or built-in feature) for Visual Studio 2008 to be able to do a quick in-line find in your code?

I am unhappy with the find feature (Ctrl+F). I don't like how it pops up in its own window. I think it would be much better if it was more like the Firefox find. (Try Ctrl+F in Firefox). I like how you start typing and it instantly trys to match what yur typing. Often you don't have to type your full search term before you find what you want.

I am use to FlashDevelop, and think they have good some great search functionallity. you can just selected a word in your code and tap F3. It will instantly select the next occurance of that string.

So is there anything out there with this sort of functionality?

Answer 1

Type Ctrl-I - this is the "inline find" version you want.

You already got your answer from 1800 INFORMATION, but I figured you might find this one interesting as well:

Answer 3

Ctrl+F3 will start a search for the word that the caret is in (without displaying the Find dialog). Subsequent presses of F3 will continue the search forward. Shift+Ctrl+F3 will search backwards. The whole word and case sensitive options of the Ctrl+F Find dialog are used during Ctrl+F3.
