Visual Studio: Find in Specific File Types

My boss was just telling me about a small feature that he wished Visual Studio had. I misunderstood him, and thought he was talking about being able to find text in files of specific type, a feature that I have wanted before. I then realized that I had never really searched for such a feature; I had just assumed Visual Studio didn’t have it.

After a few seconds of looking through dialogs, I had found the option to filter a textual search based on file type:

findinfiletypes

There are a few preset file type filters, but you can also enter your own. I have a feeling that this feature just became one of my best friends.
