According to help.eclipse.org "all projects and files in the workspace are included" in the java search with scope workspace.

However, if I close a project referencing a method from another project in the same workspace, then this reference will not show up in the search results.

In my opinion this is a bug as it is in direct contradiction to the documentation which states that "all projects and files in the workspace are included".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a project A with a class AClass and a method AMethod
2. Create a project B with a class BClass and a method BMethod
3. Let BMethod make a call to AMethod (You need to add project A to the required projects for project B) 
4. If both projects are open and you search for references in workspace (ctrl + shift + g) for AMethod, the result shows the reference in BMethod
5. If you close project B now and repeat the same search (step 4) the reference will not show up

The point of closed projects is to remove them from any operations to save time.
