In IntelliJ, is it possible to find usages of a typed method with a specific type?

Question

Say I have a typed method:

public interface Foo {

    public <T> T bar();
}

In Intellij, can I search for the method usages only with a specific type? Say, only with String ?

foo.<String>bar(); // will be listed in the search result

foo.<Integer>bar(); // won't

Answer 1

At the risk of disappointing you, I don't believe so. I've looked through the 'Find Usages' option, but with no joy. I think perhaps a standard text search is the way forwards for this.

Answer 2

This is possible, but it requires a little bit of work. Use Edit > Find > Search Structurally and type a search pattern like the following:

$a$.<String>bar()

Click Edit Variables in the Structural Search dialog, put Foo in the Expression type (regexp) text field and enable Apply constraint within type hierarchy . Click OK and then Find and all calls with <String> will be found, even where the type parameter is implicit, for example:

String s = foo.bar();
