Description Peter Burka CLA 2006-10-25 17:19:40 EDT
When I do a global search the Search view is populated with a tree of all of the resources which matched the search. I must now open each resource and examine the matches to determine if they are relevant.

This task could be made simpler and faster if the matching lines were actually displayed in the search view, probably as children of the resources. This would allow me to eliminate many irrelevant matches without opening the resource at all.

Right now search is roughly equivalent to "grep -c" -- it just shows where the matches are:

 >grep -c o *.txt
 foo.txt:2

I'd like it to be more like "grep":

 >grep o *.txt
 foo.txt:Hello
 foo.txt:World
