[jdt-core-dev] Search highlighting

["Frost, Gary [IT]" <Gary.Frost@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I wondered if there are any plans to add functionality to the search
facility, what I'd love to see is a 'Highlight in editor' option so that if
I search for say 'Something' all instance of 'Something' will show up
highlighted where found in the source, that is if I am editing MyClass.java
and search for 'Something' all instances should show up with say a yellow
highlight mark.

It would make it very easy to then to visuallize the occurences without
having to 'Find next' each time.  

Such functionality can be found in some other popular IDE's and I think
would make a good addition to Eclipse... I also suspect it's a "low hanging
fruit" :D

Just a thought
Gary
