While having multiple carets, is it possible to search for a character, and each caret will jump to the location of that character relative to the caret position?
For example, in the screenshot below, how to do jump to the next comma (',') for each of the carets?
One awkward method which sometimes can do the job is:
Change to column selection
Select the area where all relevant search results appear
Apply "Replace..."
Ensure "In Selection" is checked
Type the search string
Click "Select All Occurrences"
Would be much nicer if Incremental Search would work with multi-carets.

I would like to go through and find all of the "End" statements in my code but skipping all of the "End x" statements like "End If", "End Sub", "End function", etc.--Just the pure "End". My thought was to use pattern matching, but I am unsure of how to do that.
I already tried using "End\n" and "End[\n]".
Does anyone know how to search for words that end in new lines?
The "find" function in the VBA editor does not support this kind of parameter/functionality.
You will have to manually step through the results and skip the ones you don't want to skip, or manually modify the "End" instances you don't want to catch, then search & replace, and finally restore all the End instances back to what you want.
Apologies for answering so long after the question was asked, but thought this information would help future readers as this question is still being actively found.
#TylerH is right that the specific search requested by the user cannot be performed in the VBE Find tool. For information, when "Use Pattern Matching" is selected the VBE Find tool supports use of:
? - single character
* - zero or more characters (on the same line)
# - single digit (0 to 9)
[charlist] - any single character in charlist
[!charlist] - any single character not in charlist
... where charlist can be a range of characters (eg [A-Z]) but must be in order (eg [Z-A] is not valid), it can also include multiple ranges of characters (eg [A-BD-E] matches A, B, D or E). Also to match any of ?, * or # then enclose them in square brackets (eg [*] matches an asterisk).
This means the VBE Find tool performs very similarly (perhaps identically ... but I can't provide assurances, VB and VBA not being the same language) to the VB Like operator, for which documentation is here
The alternative (which will perform the specific search in the question) is to use the 'Find Text' tool in the VBE Add-In MZ-Tools - though note MZ-Tools is a paid-for tool ... please note I am NOT in any way associated with MZ-Tools or it's author. The search text to use in MZ-Tools for the specific search requested in the question is: end\r?$
I would like to search my project for "group".
However when I use the search dialog, I can see all "group" results, but also "groups", "grouping" and "grouper".
I don't want to see those last three, only the matches to "group".
Is there a way to do this in PyCharm 2017.1?
I have tried quotation marks and match-case box ticked. Neither did what I was after.
You can use the Words option:
Words
Select this check box to have PyCharm search for whole words or their parts, (character strings separated with spaces, tabs,
punctuation, or special characters).
This check box is disabled, if the Regex check box is selected.
I've got two columns of data, and I would like to use conditional highlighting to find the EXACT matches in both columns. However, using a formula like this one turns up a lot of incorrect matches:
=MATCH(A1,B:B,0)>0
There are a lot of partial matches, so cells are highlighted that I don't want. What I want is the equivalent of the "Match Entire Cell Contents" checkbox in the Find & Replace dialog.
To make this clear, it seems Excel will do partial matches - here is the Find & Replace dialog without "Match Entire Cell Contents" checked, with a sample search for all matches:
Search for all matches, any match
Vs. the dialog with the checkbox ticked and the results:
Search for all matches, match entire cell
But this only applies to find & replace. How can I update the formula above to work the same way, so that only exact matches to what's in a cell are highlighted?
=NOT(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,B:B,0)))
Regular use of MATCH() - without wildcards - doesn't do partial matches, and MATCH returns an error if there's no hit, not zero
This isnt quite what is being asked, but this was helpful to me:
To find duplicate records, use Excel's easy-to-use Filter feature as follows:
Select any cell inside the recordset.
From the Data menu, choose Filter and then select Advanced Filter to open the Advanced Filter dialog box.
Select Copy To Another Location in the Action section.
Enter a copy range in the Copy To control.
Check Unique Records Only and click OK.

I am wondering if I can do case sensitive whole word multi-selection in WebStorm.
Selecting some word and pressing ALT + J do multiple selections but by default it select whole words and part of the bigger words as well.
Currently when the whole word is initially selected by Alt-J on the word under cursor, then the 'whole word' mode is used;
when the initial selection is set manually - by the word selecting - then all occurrences are found (see comments in IDEA-142248).
If you miss a separate action for selecting whole word occurrence, please vote for IDEA-122069
I'm looking for a "select each occurrence of" something I'm trying to find. For example a file has a bunch of text that includes "abc", I type ctrl+f and type abc. I can either find the first one or the next one, but I would like to "multi-cursor" each one in the file.
I've already found the feature that lets me highlight text and ctrl+d to get the next that matches the selection, but if there's a hundred of these things - well that gets quite tiresome.
Ctrl+Shift+L Select all occurrences of current selection
editor.action.selectHighlights
Ctrl+F2 Select all occurrences of current word
editor.action.changeAll
Please refer for more information here.
Alt+Enter Select all occurrences of find match
editor.action.selectAllMatches
This has the added benefit of working with Regular Expression searches, since selecting occurrences of a word of a selection cannot leverage the Regex functionality.
I know this thread is here for a while now, but I think this will be helpful:
This thread on Github talks exactly about it:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/5715
Summary:
Ctrl+F --> Open find widegt.
Alt+R --> Turn on regex mode.
Input search text --> Regex text or normal text.
Alt+Enter --> Select all matches.
Left arrow --> Ajust cursors.(Ignore this step if you don't want to edit the ---selected text.)
Edit text --> Do what you want.(Ignore this step if you don't want to edit the -selected text.)
Shift+Home --> Select modified text.(Ignore this step if you don't want to edit the selected text.)
Ctrl+C --> Copy selected text.
Ctrl+N --> Open a new tab.
Ctrl+V --> Paste.
well , basically the Ctrl+Shift+L will select all occurrences of word in the document BUT
there is some coool way to selecting them growingly:
if you hit Ctrl+d it will selects the second match , it you hit Ctrl+d again it will match the third one and so on ....
For Mach User:
COMMAND + Shift+ L Select all occurrences of the current selection
COMMAND + F2 Select all occurrences of the current word
For mac users::
Control + Command + G
^ + ⌘ + G
Ctrl+F2 is what worked for me for VSCode on Windows 10.
While Ctrl+Shift+L just opened some Language selector.
If you are searching in a single file, use simple search using Ctrl+F, then even if you close the search box, simply keep pressing F3 to go to next match and so on. F3 just repeats previous search and selects your next match.
On Mac:
Ctrl+F to open the find menu in top right:
Select the third option within the input and add the regex you want to match.
Ctrl+Shift+L to select all items that match.
Hope that helps!
