I've just started using Android Studio (IntelliJ), and I now look for the feature to find the occurrence of a string in any of the files in my project. For example: I want to find all the files that contain the string ".getUuid()"
The search at the top right doesn't give me the correct results, and I don't think I can find this feature under Edit > Find.
Could anybody point me at the right direction?

The answer is
Press Shift twice and a Search Everywhere dialog will appear.
In Android Studio on a Windows or Linux based machine use shortcut Ctrl + Shift + R to search and replace any string in the whole project.
Use Ctrl + Alt + F combination in Ubuntu.
Android Studio Version 4.0.1 on Mac combination is for me:
Shift + Control + F
You can open the Find in Path dialog by pressing:
Ctrl + Shift + F
On a mac use shift + cmmd + f
To get rid of the screen press esc
I use IntelliJ IDEA
version: 2019.2.3 (Community Edition)
Build #IC-192.6817.14, built on September 24, 2019
Runtime version: 11.0.4+10-b304.69 x86_64
Android Studio 3.3 seems to have changed the shortcut to search for all references (find in path) on macOS.
In order to do that you should use Ctrl + Shift + F now (instead of Command + Shift + F as wrote on the previous answers):
UPDATE
To replace in path just use Ctrl + Shift + R.
In Android 3.6 on a Mac if you want to export the results to a text file then do the following
Command+Shift+F then enter the text you want to search
Then on Bottom Right click on "Open In Find Window"
Then Right Click On Found Occurrences
Then Export To Text File
Once in text file you can find and replace to remove, sort lines etc... please see screenshots for assistance.
What you want to reach is that, I believe:
- cmd + O for classes.
- cmd + shift + O for files.
- cmd + alt + O for symbols. "wonderful shortcut!"
Besides shift + cmd + f for find in path && double shift to search anywhere. Play with those and you will know what satisfy your need.
Use Ctrl + Shift + F combination for Windows and Linux to search everywhere, it shows preview also.
Use Ctrl + F combination for Windows and Linux to search in current file.
Use Shift + Shift (Double Tap Shift) combination for Windows and Linux to search Project File of Project.
And for all of us who use Eclipse keymaps the shortcut is Ctrl+H. Expect limited options compared to eclipse or you will be disappointed.
In Android Studio on a Windows or Linux based machine use shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F to search any string in whole project. It's easy to remember considering Ctrl + F is used to search in the current file. So just press the Shift as well.
On OSX use the Command key instead of Ctrl
use ctrl + shift + f on windows
Press SHIFT 2 times and you can search Every-where , both Class and Method() in the project.
Ctrl + N for finding only Class name.
Ctrl + E for Recent Files.
