Searching for member references

To open member reference search, select "Search > Member references". This will open a member reference search window.

Tips

1. Not all fields are required for every search type

This is especially useful with this search mode. For example:

• Searching with only the owner specified will show all references to the owner class's fields and methods.
  • Adding a ( to the descriptor portion will filter out all field references since ( is the first character of all method descriptors.
• Searching only a name/descriptor of a method will show all references to that method regardless of which class implements it.
• Searching with a package name like com/example/ will show every reference to every item in the package.

2. Skip packages that you know you don't need to search for faster searches

While the search implementation is fast you may still want to exclude packages that you know for sure do not have meaningful results to cut down on search time.
