Searching for text in models

[Eugen Schindler]

Hi mbeddr-enthusiasts,

I was wondering if someone of you has already encountered the case where you need to search for a piece of text in an MPS project. The piece of text could be a name of a node, so Ctrl+N is not enough, because this only works on root nodes.

Does such a functionality exist and if yes, how do I use it?

I found https://www.jetbrains.com/help/mps/searching-everywhere.html but unfortunately I cannot find the search icon and double-shift also doesn't work.

Thanks a lot for any info!

Greetings,

Eugen

Hi,

I think this is something that the documentation inherited from the
platform. I haven't seen this functionality in MPS but know it from
idea.

In mbeddr there is a functionality though where you can search on a
model for arbitrary text. It is in the context menu for a model and
called "Search Model"

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for the tip!

I have opened an issue for extending this functionality from model-only to entire project: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/MPS-28279

Hi Bernd,

I think I just saw that the "search model" functionality is in an mbeddr.platform plugin. Is that correct? Does that mean that I shouldn't have opened an issue with JetBrains but rather on github with mbeddr.core?
