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

Shows a preview using relevant lines
Periodically updates the index
Matches partial words (e.g. case in CamelCase)
Opens and highlights matches in files
Searches JAR source attachments
Supports filtering by extension/project/working set

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

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