Ever tried VisualAssist? Yes man, Its a killer product. The feature that I like most is its Symbol Search. You can specify words and it will list symbols that contain those words. Its very useful if you have a vague idea about the function name that you’re searching for. Have a look at the following screenshot.
But is there any PoorMan’s SearchSymbols without VisualAssist?
Did you forget about the hidden gem in VisualStudio find window? Yes, the Regular Expressions. You can use .* to do the same search done by VisualAssist. For instance, to do the above search, search for Show.*Msg. Have a look at following screenshots.
Now look at the results. Cool! isn’t it?
Quite easy. nah? BTW, did you try to kill that bug.
