# Find Results Windows
[!INCLUDE[appliesto-ss-asdb-asdw-pdw-md](../../includes/appliesto-ss-asdb-asdw-pdw-md.md)]
  The two Find Results windows display matches found by using the **Find in Files** or **Replace in Files** tabs of the **Find and Replace** dialog. The **Result Options** command for **Find in Files** and **Replace in Files** allows you to choose the Find Results window where any matches found will be listed.  
  
 The selected Find Results window opens automatically whenever matches are found. To display a Find Results window manually, click **Other Windows** on the **View** menu and then click **Find Results 1** or **Find Results 2**.  
  
 To display the code file and jump to the line where a match occurs, double-click any line in the results list. The source file is displayed in the Code Editor with the insertion point placed where the matched text begins. A symbol appears in the indicator margin of the editor to mark the line that includes the match, and the status bar displays its full text.  
  
## Toolbar Buttons  
 The following toolbar buttons are available to help you scan through the results list and jump to lines in your code where matches were found.  
  
 **page flag + up arrow**  
 Go to the line where the selected match was found.  
  
 **page + left arrow**  
 Go to the line of the previous match.  
  
 **page + right arrow**  
 Go to the line of the next match.  
  
 **Clear all**  
 Remove all matches from the **Results** list.  
  
## Shortcut Keys  
 The following shortcut keys are available to help you navigate quickly through the matches found.  
  
 CTRL+HOME  
 Scroll to the top of the Find Results window.  
  
 CTRL+END  
 Scroll to the bottom of the Find Results window.  
  
 PAGE UP

## Search Result Entries  
 Each entry in the results list provides the following information:  
  
-   Full path  
  
-   File name  
  
-   Line number  
  
-   The full text of the line containing the match  
  
> [!TIP]  
>  You can use **Quick Find** to scan through a lengthy results list. Open and dock the Find Results window, and then click the triangular **View** button on the **Find** tab and switch to **Quick Find**. Set the **Look in** field of the search to **Active Window**, enter a **Find what** string, and then click **Find Next**. This lets you scan the results list for matches found in particular folders or files, or matches on lines of code where some other key term also occurs.  
  
## Summary Lines  
 Each set of search results begins with a line that states the search parameters, and ends with a line of statistics. For example, the results list from a **Find in Files** search in all open documents for any strings matched by the regular expression "`var[1-3]&par`" might begin with this line of search parameters:  
  
 `Find all "var[1-3]&par" Regular Expression, All Open Documents`  
  
 and might conclude with this line of statistics:  
  
 `Total found: 57  Matching files: 23  Total files searched: 59`  
  
 The results list from a **Replace in Files** search in all open documents that replaced any strings matched by the regular expression "`var[1-3]&par`" with the string "`sample`" might begin with this line of search parameters:  
  
 `Replace "var[1-3]&par", "sample", Regular Expression, All Open Documents`  
  
 and might conclude with this line of statistics:  
  
 `Total replaced: 57  Matching files: 23  Total files searched: 59`
