Many times I forget the "Case sensitive" switch is On. So when I fail to find what I'm looking for I switch to another document and try again... (In case when I "know" the string must be in this document... Well or in this one... :) I would suggest to experiment with couple of (optional) tweaks for the search feature. When my case-sensitive search fails to match anything Eclipse could remind me somehow that I have "case matching" turned On: "String not found, try turn off the case-matching". (I think when the "0 matches" message would be 2 times its usual length I would probably notice it even though I don't READ it anymore.) Eclipse could perform (silently) ALL searches as case-INsensitive and with 0 occurencies user would get acknowledged "String not found, 3 case-insensitive matches found". (The "2 times longer message" thing applies here too.) In this case Eclipse could also automatically move the focus on the "case-matching" checkbox so I could change it only by pressing space; it is likely that when I give up on searching active document it doesn't matter whether the focus moves within the search-dialog. Also some kind of (optional) intelligent case-sensitivity switching could be tested: when user enters "className" or "CLASSNAME" (basically with any capitals in the string) the case-matching checkbox would automatically go On; it would go/remain Off/unchanged when user enters "classname". Best regards Jaroslav Z.
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.
