| <h1>The Search view</h1> |
| |
| <p>Now that the search for "it" has been completed, the Search view |
| is visible. The title of the Search view shows that four matches were found. </p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p> <img src="../images/Image51_search_view.png" alt="Search view. Four matches for the word it found in the Workspace." border="0"> </p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p CLASS="Head"> Within the Search view two files are shown and within each file |
| there were 2 matches found. </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Click the Show Next Match button <img src="../images/next_nav2.svg" alt="Show next match button" border="0"> to |
| navigate to the first match of the search expression ("it"). <br> |
| Notice that the file JanesFile.txt is automatically selected and opened in |
| the editor area. <br> |
| Click Show Next Match button two more times. Once again the Search view automatically |
| opens the file (JanesText.txt).</li> |
| <li>It is sometimes useful to remove uninteresting matches from the search results. |
| The Search view's popup menu allows you to do this using <b>Remove Selected |
| Matches</b> which removes any selected file entries (and all matches in them) |
| from the Search view. Note that this <strong>only</strong> removes the entries |
| in the Search view, it does <strong>not</strong> affect the files themselves. |
| Select JanesFile.txt and choose <b>Remove Selected Matches</b> from the popup |
| menu. The Search view now shows only the matches for JanesText.txt. |
| <p> |

| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li>Perform a second search for "that" by clicking on the Search button |
| <img src="../images/search.svg" alt="Search button" border="0"> in |
| the Workbench's toolbar.</li> |
| <li>The Search view updates to show the results of the new search. <br> |
| Use the drop down button on the Search view's toolbar to move back and forth |
| between the two search results. |
| <p> |
| <img src="../images/Image51_search_switching.png" alt="Search view. Drop down button." border="0"> |
| </p> |
| </li> |
| <li>In the drop down button choose <b>'it' - 1 match in workspace</b>. The Search |
| view switches back to show the original search. On the context menu choose |
| <b>Search Again</b> to repeat the initial search. Notice that once again there |
| are four matches.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>So far you have seen how to manage your search results and how to switch between |
| different searches. However, it might happen that you do not want the search view to |
| change even if further searches are performed. For this you can <strong>pin</strong> |
| the search view, which causes subsequent searches to be shown in a second Search |
| view.</p> |
