Description Mickael Istria CLA 2014-10-23 02:49:13 EDT 
The search view could rely on the CNF and actually be implemented just as Project Explorer, but adding a filter that hides additional content based on found items.
This would allow more consistency when dealing with "structuring" content providers/filters (such as working set or nested folders).
Reference request for the Nested Folder mechanism: https://github.com/mickaelistria/jbosstools-eclipse/issues/9
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2014-10-23 04:16:05 EDT 
Will be hard to achieve since the individual result pages are contributed and only need to implement ISearchResultPage.
