Using the Search Dialog

Java searching allows you to quickly find references to and declarations of Java elements.

1.

Click the Search button in the toolbar.

2.

If it is not already on top, click the Java Search tab.

3.

In the Search Expression field, type the string for which you want to search, using wildcards as needed.

You can also choose a previous search expression from the drop-down list. Selecting a previous search expression resets all values associated with that previous search in the dialog.

5.

In the Limit To pane, you can narrow your search if you like. Otherwise, select All occurrences if you want to search for references and declarations to a Java element.
