I need to go through (iterate) ISearchResult so as to compare the results of eclipse search

Question

I have a IsearchResult object I need to go throug (iterate) that so as to compare each result.

e.g. I look for (ctrl+H) add method.

and then I have this results' list

I neeed to iterate over this list (it was store int the ISearchResult object) and compare each result of the query.

I have this code.

NewSearchUI.addQueryListener(new IQueryListener() {

            @Override
            public void queryStarting(ISearchQuery query) {
                System.out.println("query start " + query);

            }

            @Override
            public void queryRemoved(ISearchQuery query) {
            }

            @Override
            public void queryFinished(ISearchQuery query) {
                System.out.println("query finished " + query);
                System.out.println("result " + query.getSearchResult().getLabel());
                query.getSearchResult().addListener(new ISearchResultListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void searchResultChanged(SearchResultEvent e) {
                    }
                });
            }

            @Override
            public void queryAdded(ISearchQuery query) {
            }

I need to iterate over the results list and compare or extract information of each result.

You can't iterate over the results.

You must add the ISearchResultListener in the queryStarting method and save the results as they are given to you in the searchResultChanged call.

NewSearchUI.addQueryListener(new IQueryListener() {

        @Override
        public void queryStarting(ISearchQuery query) {
            System.out.println("query start " + query);

            // Starting listening to the search query

            query.getSearchResult().addListener(new ISearchResultListener() {

                @Override
                public void searchResultChanged(SearchResultEvent e) {
                   // TODO save the results as they appear
                }
            });

        }

        @Override
        public void queryRemoved(ISearchQuery query) {
        }

        @Override
        public void queryFinished(ISearchQuery query) {
            System.out.println("query finished " + query);
            System.out.println("result " + query.getSearchResult().getLabel());
        }

        @Override
        public void queryAdded(ISearchQuery query) {
        }
