| Search support</H1> |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| If your plug-in defines and manipulates its own resource types, you may have |
| special requirements for searching a resource. For example, the Java IDE |
| plug-in implements a search engine specialized for Java files. </p> |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| The <b>search</b> plug-in allows you to add a specialized page describing your |
| search to the workbench search dialog. This allows you to obtain any |
| specialized information needed from the user and perform a search using your |
| plug-in's internal model.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| You should also provide a specialized class for displaying the search results. |
| Abstract implementations of a search result page are provided to give you a head |
| start.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p> |
| These services are contributed using search plug-in extension points.</p> |
