To be more clear, my project is CMake based and uses Qt 5.5.1. I wanted to make changes to some *.cmake and *.txt files. The targeted files without my project directory were modified but ALSO the Qt 5.5.1 CMake files were also modified. This seems VERY counter-intuitive to me. I would have thought that files that are actually in other framework directories would have been excluded from the search/replace.

The project wide search looks into all files that you can see in the project tree. Of course that depends on what the corresponding “Project” implementation considers to be part of your project. Looks like for CMake that includes the Qt .cmake files? For qmake it includes all explicitly included .pri files (and .pro files in subdir projects), but not the automatically included Qt configuration files.

Br, Eike
