How to search in all modules that match a particular pattern in intellij IDEA?

Assume that we loaded in IDEA a project that has multiple modules. Is there any way to do a global search (ctrl + shift + f) in all modules that match a particular pattern in name?

For example:

I want to search the desired keyword only in the modules that contain client in the name: client-side-filtering and client-side-validation. Is this achievable?

You can do this by creating a custom scope:

  1. Open Find in Path
  2. Click on the Scope button below the search text field
  3. Click on the ... button
  4. Click on the + button in the Scopes dialog that appears, and select Local
  5. Enter a name, for example "Client modules"
  6. Enter the pattern file[client*]:*/ in the pattern text field
  7. Click OK to search in the scope you have just created.
