Is it possible to dock the "Find/Replace" window in Eclipse?

I could have sworn I saw it once before in a screencast where someone had the find/replace window docked in their Eclipse environment.

However looking through the list of options in "Window > Show" the closest thing I can find is the Search window.

I find that I use it quite a bit and with larger monitors these days I figure I could afford to have it open in my perspective all the time.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

This might not be an exact answer for the question. But this works like a charm.

  • Press ctrl + j and keep typing...
  • Use ctrl + k to go on
  • Use shift key wherever required.

Use Edit > Incremental Find Next (Ctrl+J) or Edit > Incremental Find Previous (Ctrl+Shift+J) to enter the incremental find mode, and start typing the string to match. Matches are found incrementally as you type. The search string is shown in the status line. Press Ctrl+J or Ctrl+Shift+J to go to the next or previous match. Press Enter or Esc to exit incremental find mode.
