Visual Studio 2011 IDE New Features, Search & Images Preview

Search

Visual Studio 2011 comes with very handy search feature in solution explorer. Find in solution explorer filters file list based on keyword you type in, and on the fly.
This feature will be available on New Project dialog, Tool Box, Solution Explorer, Parallel Watch and Error List. 

You just need to start typing the word, it will automatically filter the controls and files that matches with the text that you typed, either starts with or contains of your typed text.

I will leave you with screenshots:

Images Preview

Other cool features that will be liked by developer, is the ability to preview any image file on the fly, you don’t have to click on the image file, just parse the cursor over the file name and it will show you the image as shown below on the screenshot:
