Search for and Filter Project Files

You can search for project files and folders in the Files view.

To search for a file or folder, in the search field at the top of the view, begin typing the file or folder name. The asterisk character (*) is a wildcard. For example, to show only file names that begin with coll and have a .m extension, type coll*.m.

To filter the files and folders in the current view, click the Filter button next to the search field. In the Filter Builder dialog box, select the names, file types, project statuses, and labels to filter by.

The Filter Builder displays the resulting filter. For example:

Filter = type=='MATLAB Code files (*.m, *.mlx)' AND project status=='In project' 
AND label=='Classification:Test'

To clear a search or filter, click the Clear button to the right of the search field.

You can search for text inside MathWorks product files (such as MATLAB^® files, Simulink^® model files, and data dictionaries) and some other kinds of project files (such as PDF and Microsoft^® Word files). MATLAB only searches in files in the project. To search the content of files in a referenced project, open the referenced project.
