New to Android Studio and I wanted to find all instances of something across all java files. I read that shift+shift would bring up a 'Search Everywhere' box but it doesn't work. You can see from the image below that the text is in the open class and it says 'Nothing Found'. Am I missing something?

Try using Ctrl + Shift + F.

You can also try Ctrl + Shift + R.

    That go it. It is "Find in Path..." on the menu. Didn't make the connection. Still not sure what the shift+shift was doing, but I guess it doesn't matter now. Thanks. – user1091524 Mar 10 '15 at 01:33

    The shift+shift lets you search for files (by their file names) in the project for faster switching between files. – Mallock May 27 '16 at 05:53

shift+shift is used for searching Classes, Files, Symbols, Actions[About] but not for searching in source files

To find something in code use

//global
Edit -> Find -> Find in Path...
//or
Command + Shift + F

//local
Edit -> Find -> Find...
//or
Command + F

For me I just wanted to find lines where a particular word was used: so for that Shortcut: (Mac: cmnd+F /).
