<p>The search facility defines the infrastructure for contributing search
functionality to the workbench. It is extensible and enables the
contribution of content type specific searching support. For example, the
JDT component contributes index based Java searching. The search component
itself provides textual searching. It makes the following contributions to
the workbench:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>A multi page dialog for defining the search arguments. When
contributing a new search kind, clients contribute a custom page to
this dialog.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A search results view that shows the search matches. When
contributing a new search kind, clients define how the matches are
presented, sorted, and how to navigate from a match to the
corresponding resource.</p>
</li>
</ul>
