Search all files in the code editor

How it works

How Search all files in the code editor works, drawn only from its official release notes.

1. 01

   What it does

   Use the file search inside the code editor to quickly locate code and add file paths directly into chat.

2. 02

   Who gets it

   The source does not say which plans include it. Check your workspace before relying on it.

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

1. 01

   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want Search all files in the code editor working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Set up Search all files in the code editor in this project — use the file search inside the code editor to quickly locate code and add file paths directly into chat. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

   Expected outcome

   A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

2. 02

   Decide whether it fits your project

   Worth five minutes before you wire anything in. Search all files in the code editor sits in Agent, and not every project needs it.

   I am building the project in this workspace. Given that Search all files in the code editor use the file search inside the code editor to quickly locate code and add file paths directly into chat, tell me honestly whether it fits what I am building, including the cases where I should not use it. If it does fit, give me the single smallest first step.

   Expected outcome

   A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.

3. 03

   Brief your team on it

   Someone has to explain the change to the people who will live with it. This produces that note.

   Write a short note for my team about Search all files in the code editor in Lovable — use the file search inside the code editor to quickly locate code and add file paths directly into chat. Under 120 words: what it is, what changes for us, and what we should do about it this week. Plain language, no hype, no bullet padding.

   Expected outcome

   A note you can paste into chat as-is. Read it once for anything overstated before you send it.
