SonicFileFinder is a free add-in for Visual Studio that allows a fast and convenient search for any file within every Project of the loaded Solution by entering the complete filename or just a part of it. The found file(s) can either be edited with a single keystroke or a Windows Explorer / CommandLine prompt can be opened at the file’s location.
What’s new?
Version 3.0 is a compatibility release for Visual Studio 2015. I had to drop support for Visual Studio 2005 & 2008, because they have no support for the Visual Studio extension installer format. I am sorry for that.
But the good news is: You now got a single VSIX file for installing SonicFileFinder to all supported Visual Studio versions at once!
The changes I had to make were quite huge. So please try it out and get back to me if you run into any problems.
- ADDED: Support for Visual Studio 2015
- CHANGED: Migrated to Visual Studio extension installer (VSIX) format
- CHANGED: Dropped support for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008
Download it on the SonicFileFinder website.

Thanks for your hard work developing this tool.
I found a problem with new installer

I was unable to install on on different PC`s with visual studio versions (Premium 2013 and Professional 2013)Are there any workarounds?
