Nodes of some solution, project, or just files in some directories?

Actually the solution (.sln file) which open, inside it all the files. Just like when I press ctrl+shift+f in visual studio and write some text and select "entire solution" and it shows all the files which containing that text. Same like that.
But not want to do such type of complicated thing.
Directly search whole text (Match Whole Word) and relating files display with the same text

My first question is why? You can do this in command line[^] or powershell[^]. If you really need to write it yourself then my next questions are: What have you tried? Where are you stuck? Where is your code?

Why:- Coz I want to save the data into excel file. So I want some way to access it and save it into my required file......As I'm lazy to do it like copy-Paste
Right now nothing tried as such....but help is highly appreciable

What I mean is: why do you need to implement it yourself instead of using some existing tools? But if you really must implement it then have a look on Directory.EnumerateFiles method[^]. You need to open each file, read its content and search it.
