I’m pleased to announce Entrian Source Search 1.4.4:

• Support for the Visual Studio 2012 Dark Theme:
  
• Inclusions: you can now specify which files to include in an index.  Under normal circumstances Source Search indexes all file types, excluding those you tell it to, but you can now give it a list of file types to include.  Thanks, Anton and Darker.
• Per-solution control over inclusions and exclusions: if you normally include all files, but for a particular solution you only want to include *.vb (and not *.Designer.vb, if you like) then you can specify all that in the index properties.  Thanks, Darker.
• Instant update of new exclusions: when you add a new exclusion pattern, matching files are removed from the index immediately.  Previously you might have had to wait a while for the index to catch up.   Thanks, Flavius.
• You no longer get a bogus Visual Studio error message when jumping to a search hit in the SQL editor.  Thanks, Antonio.

You can download this latest release from the Download page.

Hot on the heels of Entrian Source Search 1.4.1 comes a bugfix release:

• Fixed an embarrassing race condition in the auto-complete code that could lead to a crash (thanks, Joseph).

Please upgrade from the Download page.

I’ve just released Entrian Source Search 1.4.1 with the following fixes and features:

• Support for Visual Studio 2012 (but no support for dark themes yet – that will be in the next release).
• Where an index was corrupted by a crashing Visual Studio, Source Search now identifies that the index is corrupt when you restart, and automatically recreates the index.
• Indexing an entire drive now works (thanks, Patrick).
• You can now use Ctrl+C in the results list to copy the pathname of the current hit to the clipboard (thanks, Peter).
• The auto-complete dropdown now appears properly when the Source Search window is undocked.
• Fixed a naming conflict whereby two solutions with the same name in similar locations could unintentionally share an index (thanks, Christoph and Alex).
• The colors in the results list now update immediately after you change your editor colors via Tools/Options.  (Previously you needed to go to the Source Search Options dialog to get them to update.)

As always, there’s a 30-individual-day trial for new users, and the upgrade is free for existing users.

You can download this latest release from the Download page.

I’m very pleased to announce Entrian Source Search 1.3.14, which fixes the following issues:

• Using your text editor font for the search results no longer suffers a resource leak (thanks, Mark)
• Index optimization now never happens when you’re using your PC, but instead waits until there’s been no mouse or keyboard activity for at least five minutes (thanks, Anton)
• The Verbosity slider is now effectively unlimited, allowing your search results to take up the full width of the screen (thanks, Stoney and Pierre-Olivier)
• In Visual Studio 2010, hitting the Alt+= hotkey now puts the focus into the search box even if the Entrian Source Search window wasn’t previously visible (thanks, Christian).

As always, there’s a 30-individual-day trial for new users, and the upgrade is free for existing users.

You can download this latest release from the Download page.

I’m happy to announce Entrian Source Search 1.3.13, which fixes an error when opening XAML files for Windows Phone 7 (thanks, Anton!)

You can download Entrian Source Search 1.3.13 from the usual Download page.

Hot on the heels of 1.3.11 comes Entrian Source Search 1.3.12, which fixes two bugs:

• The hit count and search time (“120 hits in 23 files, 0.11 seconds”) would sometimes fail to update after you hit Search.
• There was a resource leak that would (after many days of use!) cause Visual Studio to run out of GDI resources and start to suffer painting glitches.

Download Entrian Source Search 1.3.12 from the Download page.

I’m happy to announce Entrian Source Search 1.3.11, which brings you the following features:

• You can use your text editor font for the search results, rather than being stuck with Microsoft Sans Serif (thanks, Mark)
• You can force a refresh of all files in the index (rather than just the changed files)
• You can choose how to interpret 8-bit source files that have no UTF-8 BOM (thanks, Alexei).

As always, there’s a 30-individual-day trial for new users, and the upgrade is free for existing users.

You can download Entrian Source Search 1.3.11 from the Download page.

I’m happy to announce the release of Entrian Source Search 1.3.10, which fixes three bugs:

• Very occasionally, Source Search could throw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException when you hit Search.  Now fixed.
• When you try to view a search hit in a non-existent file (for instance because you’ve deleted a huge pile of files and the index hasn’t caught up yet), the error is reported properly, rather than giving a cryptic “Value does not fall within the expected range” message (thanks, Joe).
• When showing a search hit in a .sql file, Visual Studio no longer occasionally shows an error message when there was no error (thanks, Stoney).

You can download 1.3.10 from the usual place.

Entrian Source Search 1.3.9 introduces a “Force index refresh” command.  This isn’t necessary for most people because Source Search automatically re-indexes changed files as soon as they hit the disk, but some users whose source files are held on network drives have found that changes aren’t always picked up.  (Thanks, Christian.)

Exclusion patterns are now case insensitive (thanks, Ike).

You can download 1.3.9 from the usual place.

I’m happy to announce the release of Entrian Source Search 1.3.8, which fixes three crash bugs:

• When first running a non-English Visual Studio 2008 after installing Source Search (thanks, Jean-Michel).
• When triggering a search with the Project Properties window open (due to a known bug in Visual Studio) (thanks, Stoney).
• After typing extra spaces before or after your index root directory paths (thanks, Tom).

You can download 1.3.8 from the usual place.
