Eclipse not showing search bar


Just installed Eclipse Version: Neon.1a Release (4.6.1) on Ubuntu 16.10 but its not showing the usual search box in the top right which can be used to search the whole software.

It came handy to directly open some commands without navigating through menus. Anyone know where is it gone?

Solution

  • Use Ctrl+3 to get it. Some times this will not work on Linux, then set focus on any view/editor in the current perspective then try.
