Eclipse plugin: InstaSearch – for quick search


InstaSearch is an Eclipse plug-in for performing quick and advanced search of workspace files. This will index the files and when you search for some file contents, it will look with in this index and the search results will be faster, just like the Goolge instant search. It uses Lucene ( http://lucene.apache.org/ ) for indexing and fast searching of files in the workspace. Each search result file then can be previewed using few most matching and relevant lines. A double-click on the match leads to the matching line in the file.

Main Features

  1. Instantly shows search results
  2. Shows a preview using relevant lines
  3. Periodically updates the index
  4. Matches partial words (e.g. case in CamelCase)
  5. Opens and highlights matches in files
  6. Searches JAR source attachments
  7. Supports filtering by extension/project/working set










Download / Installation

In Eclipse Helios (3.6) please install using the  Eclipse Marketplace from the Help menu
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/search/apachesolr_search/instasearch?filters=tid:31

Alternatively you can install using the update site http://code.inf.unibz.it/instasearch/downloads/

Java 1.6 or newer is required. It is suing the below TimeUnit.Hours, which is available only @ Java 6



Search Tips( check  http://lucene.apache.org/java/1_9_1/queryparsersyntax.html )

  1. If you search the text “MyTestJava”,it will look for My*, My*Java, Test*Java, Java* in files
  2. If you search the text “mytestjava”,it will look for mytestjava in files
  3. Wildcard searches Eg: app* initialize
  4. Excluding words Eg: application -initialize
  5. Limit by location – directory, projects or working set Eg: proj:MyProject,OtherProject  application  init
  6. Limit by filename, extension or modification time   Eg: name:app*  ext:java,xml,txt  modified:yesterday
  7. Search by file name initials (e.g. FOS to find FileOutputStream.java)   Eg: name:FOS
  8. If you are looking for term “index” in “java” files with file name starting with “SearchFacet”, use: index name:SearchFacet* ext:java

ATG CA - different activity sources used @ BCC

Read about how a new link can be added in BCC home page @  http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2012/03/atg-ca-bcc-home-screen-how-to-add-new.html Normally an ActivitySource.properties file define the set of actions that it supports under a genericActivityDefinitionFile. But some ActivitySource.properties  define the actions  using the workflowActivityDefinitionFiles. For example consider the default "Content Administration" ,  "SearchAdministration",  " Merchanding "  and "Personalization" options in BCC homepage. Below I listed the ActivitySource.properties and other properties for these links. To get all these activitysource names, just take the / atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager  component @ dyn/admin. Content Administration ActivitySource  --> /atg/bizui/activity/PublishingActivitySource genericActivityDefinitionFile Search Administration ActivitySource  --> /atg/bizui/...
