Description Remo Loetscher CLA 2010-09-06 08:21:56 EDT
Build Identifier: Eclipse 3.x

We are using the search api in our rcp applications.
The search results are displayed within the org.eclipse.search.ui.views.SearchView.
The naming of this view is quite confusing since it displays not the search itself but the search result(s) (even the ide implementation).
Is it possible to rename this view?
A suggestion could be simply "result" (translation for babel: Resultate (de), R\u00E9sultats (fr), Resultati (it)) or "search result".

Reproducible: Always

I see your point but given that it has that name since 1.0 and never caused any trouble/bug so far, I'm closing this as WONTFIX.

Also note that the change would not be cheap: doc and screenshots would have to be changed and translations updated.
