Super Search
What is it?
The search tool performs text searched of files in an Eclipse work space. The results
are updated in the Bookmark View and/or the Classic Search View.
Search Parameters
The output of the search is controlled by the choices that are made on the parameter
screen (click on a number to learn more about the option).
1. Choose the subset of the current work space to be searched.
- Current Project
- This option will restrict the search to only the resources in the source folder of
the current project which will be determined by the first resource that is selected in the
Navigation View. When selected, the current project will be displayed next to this option.
- Navigator Selections
- This option will restrict the search to only the resources that are selected in
the Navigation View. When selected, the number of selected resources will be displayed next
to this option.

selected, the name of the work space will be displayed next to this option.

previous search.

Enter a DOS-style file mask to be used to restrict the resources to be searched based on
the file name.
Skip all ProvideX programs that begin with "_"; this is the normal naming convention for
the ProvideX utility programs.
Enter a comma-delimited list of programs to skip based on the starting characters in
their names.
Enter a comma-delimited list of file extensions to be excluded from being searched.
Select "And" / "Or" from the drop box to build a more complex expression that combines
multiple search values.
Use the check box to indicate where parentheses should be placed so that search items
can be grouped together. Unmatched parentheses are automatically added to the expression and
displayed as curly braces { } to indicate that they were auto-generated. The expression can be
reviewed and additional parentheses added to form the expression as required for the search.
Use the checkbox to negate all or part of the expression used for the search.
Enter the text to be located or use the drop box to choose from previous search values.
Use the checkbox to indicate that the search should locate only values that exactly
match the case of the value entered.
Use the checkbox to indicate that the search value must be a full word that is wrapped
in spaces or punctuation marks.
