Re: [cdt-dev] Comments on Search framework
|
This is great feedback to have, Thomas.
It shows that Unix-oriented C/C++ users in particular expect their search
engine to have "grep"-like features.
Are enhancements being raised appropriately?

[cdt-dev] Comments on Search framework
Just thought I would provide some direct customer feedback on the
Search capabilities of Eclipse. These guys of course haven't seen
the new C/C++ search capabilities, but here are their comments on
the overall functionality (they have been using QNX Eclipse 1.0 and
Eclipse 2.0.2 based products for about 8 months now). [BTW, Momentics
is the QNX branded version of Eclipse]

Subject: Searching in Momentics
1. with CTRL-H you will get into the 'Search' dialog. In 'File Search' one
may give the searchtext (Containing text:) and the file extension
(File name patterns:) to look for. After a clean start of Momentics the
"File name patterns:" contains a '*', a '*.c' or '*.h' depending on the
kind of file you're looking for. This works really nice until you restart
the IDE. After a restart the search patterns have gone. We think it
would make sense to have a selecable preset of patterns like:
*.c,*.h - for C
*.c,*.h,*.cpp,*.hpp - for C++
etc.
Furthermore it would be nice to have the possibility to generate generic
search
patterns. Those should still be available after a restart of the IDE as
well
as
the last 5 used (-> mru list) in the "File name patterns:".
2. Search options: Right now there is 'Case sensitive'.
It would make sense to have 'Match whole word only' as well as 'regexp
search'.
3. Display of the search results: Filename and count.
Additionally the linenumbers and the full content of the lines containing
the searchstring would be very handy to have - i.e. for searching
#defines.
These options can be found in almost any texteditor when will they be
available
in Momentics?
