在排除某些项目的同时，如何在解决方案中搜索文本？

Question

How do I find text in my Visual Studio solution while excluding certain projects? Preferably a macro within the text editor window itself and/or a setting somewhere.

Example : I want to find every instance of the text "barcode" in my solution but I want to exclude looking at the "LotsOfBarcodes" project because I already know that text string exists there a lot.

I'm not sure if this is acceptable to you, but one option is to temporarily unload the project(s) that you don't want to search from your solution. Follow that with a Look in: Entire Solution option in the Find and Replace dialog box. Reload the projects when you are done.
