An IntelliJ IDEA plugin to search your computer for files by name.

##File Search

File Search is an IntelliJ IDEA plugin that lets you search your computer for files by name from within your IDE.

###System Requirements

File Search works with all recent versions of each of the IDEs Jetbrains makes that are based on IntelliJ IDEA with one major requirement:

File Search requires that IntelliJ IDEA runs on JRE8

Most Mac users are probably do not meet this requirement unless they installed IntelliJ IDEA with the version that bundles it's own JRE.

You can download a bundled version of IntelliJ IDEA here.

Simply open your Plugin Browser via Settings and search for "File Search". You can also download File Search from jetbrains.com or build it via the source code available here.

###Usage

Go to Tools -> Find Files by Name or Cmd/Alt+Shift+A and type "Find Files by Name"
