Searching for features

To search for features by running queries (ordinarily requires web access):

Open the main update manager by clicking Help > Software Updates > Update Manager. This opens the update manager perspective.
In the Feature Updates view, select the built-in Available Updates query, or create a new query object using the view's context menu New > Search.
If creating a new query, in the New Search dialog that opens, give the query a name, select the query category, and optionally select a folder that is to contain the query. The selected query category determines what query settings can be specified. The following categories are supported:

Available Updates allows search for available updates to selected features
Regular Expression allows search for features using expression matching
Plug-ins in Features allows search for features containing specified plugins

Select the query in the Feature Updates view.
The Preview shows the query details. Expand the Query Settings.
For Available Updates query, select one or more installed feature to search for.
For Regular Expression query, specify the values you want to search for.
For Plug-ins in features query, use the Add or Delete buttons to specify the plug-ins to search for. When adding plug-ins to the list enter the plugin identifier and version into the Add dialog.
Expand the Scope Settings and select the targets to search.

Include My Computer in search will cause the selected local roots to be searched for local update sites containing features
Search sites in "Sites to Visit" folder will cause the preconfigured sites to be searched
Search bookmarked sites will cause bookmarked sites to be searched
Only include features applicable to this environment will only consider features that match the current runtime environment to be included in the results
note, that Available Updates queries always search the update sites that are specified as part of the feature definitions

Click Search Now to trigger the search. The search runs asynchronously, so the workbench UI remain responsive. Search results are accummulated in the Preview view, as well as being shown as children of the query object in the Feature Updates view.
To install one of the located features, select the feature in the search result list, or the Feature Updates view, and click the Install or Update button.
