It really is. I suspect it's one of those designs where if you think
and work like the guy who designed it it might be nice. But
apparently a lot of us don't, so it isn't. It's just clumsy. I'd
really like some checkboxes that let me tell it to search source
files, my header files, and/or system headers.
Weird... the window makes perfect sense to me (command-shift-f I am
talking about) and I used CW a lot.
Cmd-option-F with CW bindings. :)
I use Command-F since searching my project is the most common thing I
do.
In CW, if you type a search string into either Find window and then
open the other one, the second one contains the new search string.
Another thing I miss in Xcode.
It also provides all of the options you are asking for ... including
the ability to save search criteria, give it a name and have it
available from the popup menu in the search window.
You are right that it does the things Larry mentioned. I believe
it can
do everything CW's can,
This may be the case, but I don't believe setting up searches is as
intuitive or convenient as it was in CW, at least not the searches I
do. For example, having to use a second window to set additional
search criteria is, IMO, a poor design.
except CW's ability to search 'code only' or
'comments only' which I've found very useful, but only rarely.
I use that sometimes. It's nice.
Xcode's
ability to use a regex to filter files is nice.
It's nice, but not everyone is good with regexp, and regexp shouldn't
be required for commonly needed filtering. IMO.
