title: How can I search in Visual Studio and get it to ignore what is commented out?
body: <p>I am refactoring a C++ codebase in Visual Studio 2005.  I'm about half way through this process now and I've commented out a lot of old code and replaced or moved it.  Now I'm searching to see that I have to change next but the search function keeps bringing me the old commented out stuff I no longer care about. I don't really want to delete that old code yet, just in case.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can search all files in the solution and get results ignoring what is commented out?  I don't see a way in visual studio itself, is the perhaps a plug-in that would do it?</p>
