Is there a “Find in Files” shortcut in Eclipse?

Question

Is there a "Find in Files" shortcut in Eclipse, as there is in Visual Studio (Ctrl+Shift+F)?

I have looked in these two lists:

• Eclipse Shortcuts
• "Show All Shortcuts" shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+L.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I believe adding plug-ins power your needs.

If you install Plug-in named InstaSearch it makes your searching faster inside current active working projects.

It shows the result as you type.

Answer 2

select workspace and press Ctrl-H

Which dialog is selected, depends on which file type is selected in the Project Explorer view. For example, if you selected a .js file and press Ctrl-H, it will bring up the dialog with the "Javascript Search" tab selected. If you want to search all files, you can press Ctrl-F7 to select the Project Explorer view, use arrow keys to select a folder above your files, then press Ctrl-H (or select a file, whose type doesn't trigger a custom dialog tab).
