Description Andy Brook CLA 2005-09-15 05:10:22 EDT 
Why is search dependant on the IDE? This almost generic framework seems to
depend on the IDE because the File search facility is bundled with Search, why
is this?  Surely it belongs in the IDE or similar?

Im writting RCP apps, and would like to use search, but due to this dependancy
its a 'chop and paste' or roll my own...

Can we move the File-search page out of the search plugin and put in the IDE,
contributing to the right point?  This would leave the search plugin 'clean' for
RCP use.

Splitting the search plugin in a IResource independent is a known request which
we couldn't tackle yet for time constraints. Note that what you would get is
that the search dialog and search views framework could go to the RCP plugin,
and a second plugin containing the file search.
