Full text searching [message #336525] Fri, 19 June 2009 02:49 Go to next message

Is there a feature or plugin that provides full text searching of a
project? I want to be able to find all files that contain a pattern but
not some other pattern. As a work-a-round, I've installed Google Desktop
and restricted it to indexing my project directory. It's works, but it's
not pretty as it doesn't have the working set functionality to set the
search scope and, obviously, no pattern result highlighting.

Why doesn't the default search in Eclipse fit here?

Unless I'm misunderstanding it, the default search is a line based
search, not a file based search.

For example, if I wanted to find all files that contain a pattern and
not some other pattern. A line based search will give a false result
because it's looking for "lines" that match. If line 3 contains the
pattern and line 76 contains the other pattern, then a file based search
file will exclude the file from the result set.
