Conventional search methods do not take into account the syntax and semantics of the source code. Even if you use regular expressions, IDEs and editors still treat your code as text.

Structural search and replace (SSR), on the other hand, lets you search for a particular code pattern or grammatical construct in your code while considering your code structure.

This video shows not only how to use Structural Search and Replace and search templates, but also how you can use the templates to create custom inspections.
