Build: 20020404 Open the search dialog. In the patterns field enter plugin.xml Leave the Search expression field blank The search button becomes disabled Enter * as the search expression and you get > 2000 matches per file (I stopped the search). Side note, the pattern field should be named something like "files named" (look at the windows explorer).
You have specified to search for "*" inside all plugin.xml files. As a result you will get a match for each line in a plugin.xml file. This is the correct behaviour. I agree that the "Patterns" label is misleading. It should be called "File types" if there is space "Search in file types:" (Dani we should get this one into M5)
The only time a user will look for * is when they have made a mistake in the dialog (e.g. they meant to enter "foo*" or "*foo"). We should disable the "Search" button when the search expression is "*".
There will be several changes 0) "Text Search" becomes "File Search" 1) better naming of labels 2) moved file name pattern up 3) text pattern is now optional i.e. it will allow you to search for files 4) * for text pattern remains allowed: can be used to count the number of lines in files.
