How to search text with multiple queries

Question

Can multiple queries be used within Rider's "Find" functionality to locate various items concurrently?

Answer

Yes, Rider's "Find" functionality supports multiple queries through the use of Regular Expressions (Regex). Utilizing this feature enables finding multiple patterns within your code at once, which is particularly useful for tasks like complex renaming scenarios or reference checks.

To perform a multi-query search:

1. Open the "Find" dialog by pressing Shift+Shift or the appropriate key combination as per your configuration.
2. Navigate to Text search options and enable the Regex checkbox.
3. Construct your search query using the pipe (|) character to separate different queries. For example, a search query like query1|query2|query3 will find occurrences of "query1", "query2", and "query3".

This approach allows efficient and simultaneous searching of multiple patterns.
