Blitz Search
Passion Project to Fix Find-in-Files
Blitz Search started in March of 2024, a narrowly scoped project that aims to improve find-in-files across all of the more popular IDE's.
Blitz Search is built for myself, but also serves a purpose of showing a little bit of what I offer as a Tools Software Engineer. I believe that many of the problems in Tools get overlooked, It's easy to do. Take find-in-files.. It has used the same old clunky dialogue for as long as GUI based text editors have existed.
It's also a way for me to demonstrate higher-level thinking. Blitz Search doesn't just sit in some IDE plugin code. There's a recognition here that Many IDE's share find-in-files weaknesses. A measured approach to the problem has a solution that is Unique. A universal stand-alone application with shallow extension code written for each IDE's enables me to not just fix one IDE's find-in-files, but ALL of them.
With Blitz Search, you can completely replace the Hotkey for Control-Shift-F ( Find in files ) and Control-Shift-H ( Replace-in-files ).
