Search string from JAR file global in Intellij Idea

Question

I am developing stomp+WebSocket using Intellij Idea. Now I need to know: how to search string from Intellij Idea global? For example, I got this error:

15:17:44.688]-[clientInboundChannel-59]-[org.springframework.web.socket.messaging.WebSocketAnnotationMethodMessageHandler]-{Searching methods to handle SEND /app/vehicle session=qnlerizz}
15:17:44.688]-[clientInboundChannel-59]-[org.springframework.web.socket.messaging.WebSocketAnnotationMethodMessageHandler]-{No matching methods.}

And I go to class WebSocketAnnotationMethodMessageHandler in spring-websocket.jar(Maven's jar) and find nothing about this string:No matching methods or Searching methods to handle. So I want to search where the message is. How to do?

What I have tried is the combination Ctrl + Shift + F but It does not work fine, I can't search from external jar. Double Shift can only search class.

Cmd + Shift + F (on Mac), click `Scope`, then put your keyword. It works. @DHRUVBANSAL – yasi May 24 '20 at 23:59

I think this -> How to search for a string in JAR files can help you.

For external library(jar) you can use this way

Looks like 'Find in Path', 'Custom Scope' set to 'Project and Libraries'

JD-GU http://java-decompiler.github.io, you can search text in jar.

Drop all your jars file into it and "Ctrl + Shift + S" it will search in all files
