Intellij: Search console output

Up until version 10, intellij enabled searching text in the console window. From version 11 this option is not available anymore.

Is there any configuration to enable that? A plugin maybe? This is very useful for me and I miss this function...

-- EDIT --

I'm using the community edition of Intellij

I'm using Eclipse key mapping in IntelliJ. The shortcut to search the console is Ctrl + Shift + G. By default it would search the word where the cursor is pointing.

Override the keymap for Ctrl+F to "Find" which was mapped to some other find.

To be more specific, in Settings - Keymap go to Main Menu - Edit - Find - Find... and make sure that a Shortcut is assigned here.

For those who have vim plug-in enabled.

Go to Editor->Vim Emulation and check keymaps. Make sure Ctrl + F is handled by IDE and not by Vim.

After setting that, I am able to search the console by Ctrl + F and keep vim enabled.

I was encountering the same issue while I was using vim in IntelliJ 2018.3.4.

After I disabled the Tools -> Vim Emulator, I could then search in Console using Ctrl+F.

Updated

In macOS, I just could use Command+F without disabling the emulator.

_{Perhaps that's why developers are using macOS more.}

CTRL+F is by default for Replace that is not supported in console for IntelliJ.

Click on console and Use CTRL+K it is used for find in intelliJ

Go to File -> Settings -> Keymap -> Main menu -> Edit -> Find -> Find... (right click on it) -> add keyboard shortcut. It's not set by default so you have to set it manually.

Check you key map settings. Like in my case - I have eclipse key mapping and there is CTRL+F set to "edit\Replace" not to "edit\Find", and the "edit\Find" has no key binding at all, that's why it is not working in console.
