Stop a find-in-file search in Visual Studio 2013 which is taking forever
I just searched my entire solution for a certain string which apparently exists in many minified JavaScript files. This causes the Visual Studio process to pretty much hang while it outputs the content of those minified files in the Find Result window, because they're up to several megabytes in size.
Is there any way to stop this process once it's started?

There is a stop button in VS 'Find Results' window. Usually it has red cross icon
