How do I find and view a TFS changeset by comment text?

Question

With TFS I need to find a changeset by comment, and/or by developer. Maybe I\'m just blind today, but I don\'t see a simple way in the Source Control Explorer to do this ta

Answer 1

I added tfpt searchcs from the TFS Power Tools as external tool in VisualStudio:

• Command: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2015 Power Tools\TFPT.EXE (or wherever you installed your TFS Power Tools)
• Arguments: searchcs /collection:http://tfsserver:8080/tfs $(SolutionDir) (the solution path is converted to the server path)
• Initial Directory: c:\path\to\your\vs\IDE (unless the tf.exe is in your path (what is not the case by default) this ensures you can view the changeset details from the search dialog, for it runs tf.exe)
