Description libing wang CLA 2012-10-18 15:42:33 EDT 
I got several feed backs on search recently:
We are not able to filter on file types.
I've heard from john that lucene already supports this and for crwaler it is very easy as well. We need to add this abolity in UI somewhere for 2.0.

I think the current completion popup is good candidate to add more filters on. Like, once you start typing, the completion popup will have a filtering zone at the top, allowing you to set some advanced things.

Had short conversation with Mcq today. He thinks we should keep the completion as simple as possible. File type search should be initiated in a new page. We can call it advanced search.

fixed with http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=e591aba9bc50bd14c16fd504474296f691f38f58.
Now there is a floating popup when you click on the triagle in the search box.
You can do file type combining with regEx search now.
