Some of the most useful “Power Xcode Tricks” from the try! Swift World online workshop by @ericasadun

Search Scope

Create custom scopes

You can create custom search scope to limit your search within a subset of your code. For instance, create a scope to search only within your small team's scope.

Exclude certain files ⭐️

Xcode doesn't provide out-of-the-box filter functionality for this. But you can use regex to exclude certain files to create useful search scopes. For example, you can exclude test files from your search.

Other handy search scopes

Tests Only, Swift Only, Objective-C Only, headers, etc.
