A file search system and method are provided. The system and method can be employed, for example, to search computer programming source files (e.g., Visual Basic files, C++ files, etc.) to provide meaningful, context-based search results. The system can employ stored concatenated information associated with the search request to identify search results. The stored information can be based on directive(s) (e.g., "using" and/or "import" directive(s)) with corresponding variable declaration(s) to provide enhanced, "full-code" case sensitive or insensitive searches across source file(s). Additionally and/or alternatively, the system can facilitate "extrapolative" query(ies) in which a derived (or inherited) class(es) are returned based on a user's request. Optionally, search results can be scoped (e.g., identified by a single character), for example, by programming language.
