Hello
Here is the problem : I have a large solution with plenty of projects and folders. When ever I search something, I get results like d:\projectname\development\web\webproject\yetAnotherFolder\AndAnotherOne\help.cs
This is a bit anoying. I would like to see onelevelFoler\Class.cs in the results . With the help of vbdocman , I've managed to get my hands on the results of the search and now I would like to modify it but the window is read only.
I know there is a way to change the format from registry but it cant get the format I need.
Is there a way to edit the results in the "Find results" window

Hi Avi,
I'm sorry, the find results only looks in the registry for formatting output currently.

Hi Avi,
I'm afraid that currently, we can get you most of what you want, but not all. Basically, we can just show the filename, but we can't just show one directory above the file.
Here is what you do
Open up Regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Find
Add a new String value named "Find result format"
Set it's value to be $f$e($l):$t\r\n
$f - filename
$e - extension
$l - line number
$t - line of text containing match
Here are more options if you want to use them
$d - directory
$p - entire file path
$v - drive
Note, if you delete this registry key, we go back to the default.
