How to search within specific files in VS Code?

There are several hundred files in the workspace and I would like to perform a search within specific files. For example,

Find "Hello world" in the files starting with these three letters "mkr*"

Is there a way to accomplish this kind of search in the VS Code?

Thanks.

  1. Open search (Mac: command+shift+f, Windows/Linux: ctrl+shift+f).
  2. Toggle search details (Mac: command+shift+j, Windows/Linux: ctrl+shift+j).
  3. In the "search" input, enter the keywords. In this case, Hello world.
  4. In the "files to include" input, add the pattern. In this case, */mkr*.*.
