TLDR    F on MacOS will open  Find in path  dialog   First of all  this IDEA has a nice  Find Usages  command  It can be found in the context menu  when the cursor is on some field  method  etc    It s context-aware  and as far as I know  is the best way to find class  method or field usage   Alternatively  you can use the      Edit   Find   Find in path      dialog  which allows you to search the whole workspace   Also in IDEA 13 there is an awesome  Search Everywhere  option  by default called by double Shift  It allows you to search in project  files  classes  settings  and so on   Also you can search from Project Structure dialog with  Find in Path      Just call it by right mouse button on concrete directory and the search will be scoped  only inside that directory and it s sub-directory   Enjoy
