In Eclipse, in the package explorer, can I find files by name?

Viewed 53839

You know how in Eclipse's Preferences window (menu bar: Window --> Preferences), you have a hierarchy to browse, but you also have a text search field. And as you type into that search field, the hierarchy is filtered to show only entries matching what you typed?

I would love to see the same feature in the Package Explorer tab. I have 100s of files in my Package Explorer hierarchy. Oftentimes I just want to type in a partial name, and see only those matching entries.

Does this feature exist? Something related, that would accomplish the same goal? (search, not browse)?

Thanks

Simple. Just press Ctrl + H (Windows),

this will open up the Advanced Search window.

Go to File Search tab and type in the required parameters:

For example click here

The above example showcases me trying to search for all occurrences of .xml files within a specific folder
