Searching for files

By default, queries search both filenames and file contents. You can limit your search to just filenames in several ways. For example, you can use the file filter to search for a file by using its path. For example:

file:main

The following filters return the same results as the file filter:

• filepath
• f
• path

You can also search for a file name by typing its name and extension. For example:

f:main\.java

Note: The preceding example escapes the period (\.). This is so the search doesn't match filenames without periods like mainjava.
