A project wide search with an optional file scope

Introduction

DevTools has a project wide search which is accessible from the Sources Panel.

How to use it

Search across all sources with the keyboard shortcut Cmd + Opt + F / Ctrl + Shift + F from the Sources Panel.

If your query returns too many matching files, you can limit the search scope by changing the search query from:

query

To:

query file:main.js

Or:

query file:main

The latter query is helpful when you don't know the full filename of the resource, for example a versioned JavaScript asset might be named main-d986d927.js. Thus searching for query file:main is more practical.

Extra

In addition to search through the textual content of a resource, you can also search across all network headers and content from the Network Panel.
