Hi,

This should be a fairly easy question but I still haven't found an
answer: Can anyone please tell me how to search for a file within TFS
Source Control?

Previously we were using VSS, which had a very simple Find option and
also allowed to search for a file, also by its status. I would like to
be able to do so with TFS as well, preferably within multiple projects
at once.

TIA,
Jeroen

You have to do it in a command line, it's not supported in the GUI, you have
to open a Visual Studio 2005 command prompt and use this command:

tf dir $/*file.cs /recursive /server:http://TFSServer:8080

Also checcout this documentation about this command line:

Thanks Luis!

I didn't find that in the documentation yet.
