The Solution Explorer in Visual Studio 2010 still has no search feature (at least not without a Visual Studio Extension). But it does support a type-ahead feature. Though not new, it is a little known feature. So here are the details.
1) Ensure the Solution Explorer has focus.
2) Start typing.
In the screen shot below, I had typed "C".
A few tips:
- It won't search any closed folders.
- If you type a set of letters, it will jump to the first entry that matches and continue to match entries as you type.
- If you type the same letter several times, it will match the next entry that begins with the typed letter.
- Unless of course you have an entry with double-letters, such as "cctest".
Enjoy!
