Sorry for previous post, unexpected press on Send button... :-(

What kind of search do you want to do: File/Java/Plug-in?
What do you mean by "open documents": those you're currently editing
or those which are in your workspace?

Let's say I have 2 documents open in my workspace that I am currently
editing.

I want to find all instances of the word "keyword" in both documents.

How do I do that?

This is currently not possible. You can either search all files (Ctrl+H)
or the inside the editor (Ctrl+F).

One more possibility - if the files are in a Working Set you can limit
the scope of the search to just that Working Set. I use this feature a
lot to keep my search results at a reasonable length ;-)

HTH,
