would somebody please write a dead simple grep search plugin?

one that's not restricted to symbol names, not listing in expanding tree view, not differentiating between read/write/etc. references, not restricted to full symbol names... just a dumb text search in all text files. listing file name, (line no?) and(!) the text line in the search view. perhaps with additional grep options. (sort of how the Visual Studio does it)

would be appreciated and praised.

thx, gezaba

Yes,
I require the ability to search for text in the file I'm currently viewing.

This functionaility is available in a Apple II E text editor from 1982, but not in Eclipse.
Eclipse has a search window with 5 panels, and 100 options, in various flavours of useless.

Is there any way I can remove this uselsess search functionlity form eclipse and throw it in the rubbish, and replace it with a proper pop up search ?
This way, me and all the other programmers could use it.

Me Again,

Using the Customize button in the search Dialog, you can celar out any panels you don't need.
I also see that the options you select for the last search are saved for the next time.

So it actually works pretty good as a quick search.
I am not used to such flexibility in an IDE.

Please disregard my last post.

If you need to search for text in Eclipse:

1) open your file in Notepad
2) do a search.
3) Close notepad and re-open eclipse.

Or,
"CTL-F" works pretty well.

OK, there is a File Search view that does the grep thing. my wrong. (was not visible from the main menu in 3.0 hence my confusion:)

still, there remains the disturbing way the search view is presenting the hits. having to navigate through extensive package hierarchies and not seeing the actual occurences without opening the files is still a major nuisance. ("expand all" is nice but does not help in this regard.)

if only there would also be an option to present the results in a plain list with the file name and text line, I'd be fully content.

and if that also exists, I shut up for good:)

I develop customizations to a product from UGS called TeamCenter and absolutely need a grep like search for strings and regular expressions. A count of hits in each file isn't good enough. I have to see each hit in context without browsing around. Anyone know how to kill the hit count and directly display all the found occurances of the search string?

In the version 1.1.3 the EcSplorer plugin [http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/Web_Links-index-req-viewlink-cid-480.html] adds a find and a grep function to the search menu of eclipse.
It does not have too much feature, but i think it looks ok for a beta release.

I have developed a "dead simple grep search plugin" that works on the current edited file. In the result table are displayed all the text lines containing the desired pattern (grep-like). It is possible to make three different pattern searches at the same time. The results are highlighted in different colours (Google Toolbar-like).
