I've recently switched to Scala-IDE for Scala development, especially since they added Scala Worksheets - what a cool feature.
Anyways, my biggest gripe with Eclipse is searching for text. I was unable to find an add-on or mechanism that would allow me to search or search-and-replace text in from the project explorer.
I'm using Eclipse 4.2 and would like to be able to just right-click on a folder or package in the Project Explorer and select 'search', to search that folder and it's sub-folders.
Is there a plug-in available for that or am I missing the elephant in the room? I tried using the search menu option from the main application menu, but it does not seem to take context (like the current package) into account.
In the search dialog of eclipse are several tabs. The File Search and the Java Search tabs have a box named Scope. It allows you to restrict your search to the Selected resources.
