Find out where a variable is initialized

I have a class with variable “test” in my project. I need to find out at which page of the project/solution this “test” get initialized. Do we have any short cut keys for this, other than Ctl+F and look for entire project.

We can use the below regex to find variable which are initialized.

Example

int var = 10;
(?:\w+\s+)([a-zA-Z])+\s(\=)

Very similar to @George's answer, but I prefer a Ctrl+Shift+F (Find In Files). Does about the same thing as Find All References, but doesn't have to compile anything to do it.

As for specifically looking for the initialization, a find in files of text:b*= (making sure Use Regular expressions is on), would find any place where you assigned to text.

This is assuming you didn't mean Ctrl+Shift+F in your question.
