Newer apps all avoid using dialogs for search & replace. It would be a great improvement to have the search dialog replaced by a "Search View". You don't need to throw away the search dialog. Maybe there could be a preference setting to switch between search dialog or search view.
You mean integrate the existing dialog into the existing Search view? The problem here is that plug-in providers can contribute a search page to the dialog but open/use a totally different Search result view (which can even be external to the Eclipse workbench window hence reusing a predefined area in the Search view would not help).
I thought of providing the Search dialog from Ctrl+F as a view. But this is a very low priority enhancement. I don't thought of putting it into the "Search Results" view although it may be possible to display the results underneath the search form elements.
He's talking about the ctrl-f (find) dialog.
not for 3.0
Get rid of deprecated state.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
