IntelliJ Idea advanced search for key word in the classes containing a certain word Code Answer

I use IntelliJ Idea Ultimate 2017.3.

I use often Ctrl+Shift+F to find in path any text anwhere and Shift+Shift to find any class by name.

Is there a way to combine this search for a text inside a group of classes containing a certain word in its name?

Here is an example for clarity:

In a huge project, I want to find all classes which contains a word e.g. transformation as whatsoever (variable, method name, String…), but these classes must contain another word e.g. xml in its name. The results would be e.g.:

• Interface XmlFile with a method void completeTransformation()
• Class MyLittleXmlClass which works with a String variable with "transformation" value
• Class MyBigXmlClass which implements XmlFile and has method void completeTransformation()
• Class XmlDocument which has a variable named transformationVariable
• etc.

Answer

You can use Find in path and use an additional file mask. The file mask also accepts asterisks as shown in the image below:
