You haven't used many IDEs. This is standard behavior. "find next" or "find usages" is for the current editor and you should never expect it to search the entire project. Searching files recursively is usually called "find in path".

I HADN'T used many IDEs. I -did- say 'starting out'.

Regardless, defending it as standard behavior means you're arguing it has -average- UX. The OP was in favor of it having -good- UX (well, 'clean, customizable and nothing is hidden away', and I was just pointing out that doesn't necessarily mean it's good).

I was trying to point out that it's already logical and sensible, and what you think it should be is nonsense.
You seem to have a lot of trouble with past vs present tenses. What I think it should be is not something I ever said. I listed out what options seemed (past tense) more likely to me, given the list in IntelliJ.
