    How can the Twin Basic IDE search for code across the entire project?

    How can the Twin Basic IDE search for code across the entire project? In VB6, it's very easy through the search box (Ctrl+F), and in Twin Basic, I didn't find how to search for all the modules in the project at all - it's not clear at all.

    "Global search" is right on the toolbar and the old option is under Edit->Find in project.

    I like the Global Search addin much better than VB6's because it displays everything in a table with click to go to, instead of having to click over and over not even knowing what file you'll land in. But some prefer the VB6 way, habit I guess.

    If you have a look here: https://github.com/twinbasic/twinbasic/issues/1896 - There is a request for the old VB6 search functionality to be retained and enhanced.

    The enhancement design is held here:

    Finally, if you have a look at top tip 8 here: https://www.vbforums.com/showthread....ion&highlight=

    It provides some top tips as to how to use TwinBasic's search facilities.
