  • Built the search database (mandatory, one time)
    note:
    1. you have to manually execute this command, because this would take a few seconds for a large project, like the AOSP project;
    2. when files changed a lot in the workspace, files deleted/renamed/added, you might want to re-execute this command again, because the feature of watching files changes and re-indexing them aren't implemented yet, 0_0||.
  • Search for files That's it!
