The current search results do not show the actual line that matched the search. Suggest that the search results be a tree with the filename as a node, and the lines that match within that file as the children of that node. Also suggest that search have an option specifying if the method name should be displayed or not in the search results.
We are working on a tree based search result view. But it might not contain all your wishes ;-).
Brett, each search (text, Java, PDE, ...) is contributed and the presentation is up to them. In addition the Search component is not limited to text searches i.e. there might be a graphical search. Having said this, in which searches would you expect to see line number info? I think in text search it could be useful though never work with lines expect (except goto line, Ctrl+L) but in Java search I would consider it pollution.
Oh ... when I weas referring to the lines that match, I wasn't referring to the actual line number. I agree with you, I don't find line number useful. But when I specified the lines that match, I was referring to displaying the actual line number. For example, the search results for "_test" would result in: + Example.java - _test = getGretting(); - return _test; where the actual "line" that matches shows up in the text. An example of the "option" mentioned later in the description would result in: + Example.java + getTest() - _test = getGretting(); - return _test;
close to the other PR. I added a reference to this one to the duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 47136 ***
Reopening as this is not a dup of bug 47136.
