I use the "Open Quickly" function a lot. I just upgraded to the latest Xcode and now my search results are "contaminated" with tons of hits that are part of the library and not my project. For example, typing "manag" I get hits for "ManagedObject" at the top of my list. This didn't happen yesterday.


Is it possible that changes in the Swift API/support have brought symbols that used to start with "NS" or "UI" into the search space without these prefixes?


If so, or for whatever reason, "Open quickly" is now a lot worse that it was a day ago.


Any info/suggestions/preferences that someone could suggest to making this be better would be much appreciated.

Might just be your environment - how old is your computer, how much ram, how much free space on the drive and how big/many are the projects you have open at one time?


As for OQ, I think that means it will find the name quickly and auto-complete your hint based on a specific algo for that purpose (and take longer when you have more for it to scan and...it may need to rebuild those otherwise cached indices when you update Xcode, which is why it is suddenly unreliable)....it doesn't mean that opening the file will be any faster than any other hoop you choose to jump thru. Thanks for playing the game, tho.

Open quickly has definitely changed in Xcode 7.3. It now searches the entire workspace out of the box, which anyone using cocoapods will be able to immediatley notice this change.

Indeed, the files in my project now seem to show up last in the Open Quickly list, below library files, even ones I'm not using, like Python.
