Hello,

first let me say that Eclipse is a great tool and I like to work with it very much. But what I'm really missing is some options in the search dialog (see below). I've seen that the Aptana Studio (http://www.aptana.com/) has already integrated that options, so maybe someone else would find it useful to integrate them into the standard Eclipse search dialog?

- search in directory -> often I want to have a quick look into some files outside my project files (e.g. how is something done in kernel x.y.z). Currently I use grep for this but it would be great to have something like this directly integrated into Eclipse.

- search in open files -> the open files are the files I currently work with. So often I want to search just in this files instead of the whole project.

See bug 192767. As a workaround you can create create a folder that links to the folder outside your workspace and then search that folder.

We don't plan to add this, see bug 92178.

Marking as 'INVALID' since both requests are covered by existing feature requests.
