PHPStorm don't run search in background

I'm sorry to ask this here, but I've searched for a while with no results. Can anyone tell me how, once having clicked "Background" on PHPStorm's search window, I can restore it to run regularly? kinda driving me crazy here :/

To see background tasks (and be able to cancel it) check this official manual page.

To make Search functionality not to run in background, do these steps:

  • Close IDE completely

  • Search for ide.general.xml file and open it in any text editor. For Windows 7 and PhpStorm v8 it would be C:\Users\USERNAME\.WebIde80\config\options\ide.general.xml. For other OS check this document.

  • Look for searchInBackground text. e.g. <option name="searchInBackground" ...

  • Either delete that node completely .. or change value to be false instead of true.

  • Save changes made to this file and launch IDE.
