how to find references to a method in xcode 5

I am reading through a very large and complex ios app project, I want to find the places in the code when a certain function (or method) is called. I've seen some answers for older xcodes where you can filter your search results to only show you references. But I dont see this option in xcode 5. so possibly 2 questions: 1- is there a way to enable these search options? 2- are there any other ways to search for all references to a method (or any symbol).

In Xcode 6, you can open the Find Navigator (⌘-3) then where it says Find > Text > Containing, these items are clickable and you can change it to Find > References > Containing.

Alternatively, with your cursor inside a method you can click the icon in the top left corner of the editor (it looks like four squares) and choose Callers.

If you click the search icon and the click where it says "In workspace". It should bring across a menu that will allow you to select specific groups and folders. You can also create a "new scope" to use for searching more complex rules.
