Reproducible: Always

1.Create a new C++ project and create a new class.
2. Add a variable in the class.
3. Go to Search->C++ search and type in the variable name and search.
4. No search results are produced.

The C/C++ search (like the Java search) does not search for local variables or parameters, you need to use a Text Search instead.

Thanks for the clarification. Like you said it only does not work for local variables,
it does work for global ones. Hard to understand such limitation. Well, like you said
text search seems to be the best bet.
