Global searching in nRF Connect 1.9 VS

The global search function does not find search terms that must be in the project. Under SES I could simply do a global search and instantly find the definition of an object. I have tried setting "files to include" to *.*, nothing in files to exclude, etc. Specific case at hand is that I need to find the definition of BT_UUID_NUS_VAL in the Multi-NUS-Master example project, but I need to /learn how to "drive" the search function for future use.

  • I see no way in Toolchain Manager to open a project directly. Once VS is open, I do <File><OpenFolder> and point to the folder where the project was unzipped.

    There are really two issues here. The second will also resolve the first, but maybe not as quickly:

    1) I need to find where the value used for the UUID is actually created, so as to be able to modify it for a specific project.

    2) I need to learn how to do a general search of the project (like ctrl-shitf-F in SES) for any particular string. Clearly in the present case the project and thereby the compiler knows about all the files included, but the search isn't finding them.
