Analyze search results
If any of the JetBrains Rider's navigation and search actions produces multiple results, these results can be displayed in the Find window, which provides a lot of ways to analyze the search results.
Some actions, for example Find Usages automatically display the results in this window. For other actions, you can do it manually when a popup with the search results is displayed — click Open in Find Tool Window 
, press Shift+Enter or + on the numeric keypad .
Results of each new navigation or search action are displayed in a new tab of the Find window, so you can easily get back to previous searches.
To cycle through the tool window tabs, press Alt+Right and Alt+Left.
If you close the Find window, you can always reopen it by choosing in the main menu or by pressing Alt+3. Tabs with search results are preserved until you close the solution.
In contrast to other navigation and search commands, the results of Find in Files Ctrl+Shift+F are by default displayed in the same tab of the Find window. If you want the results of previous textual searches to be preserved in different tabs, select Open Results in New Tab in the bottom left corner of the Find in Files popup:
