In the Build Results window of Xcode, the list of errors is not a plain text view so you can’t highlight and copy text from it like you might expect. However you can drag a whole row as a text clipping.
If you drag the error line and drop it onto Safari in the Dock, Safari will open and automagically do a search for the error text. Even though you can only drag a single line, which may not contain the whole error message, it’s usually enough as a search criteria.
I recently encountered the somewhat cryptic error message “___restore_vfp_d8_d15_regs, referenced from:” and after a quick drag-drop-click I had the solution. Nice!
