Better Search Capability For Eclipse?

Hello,

I don't like the Eclipse search functionality because it doesn't show you any text results when you run a search. In some IDE's, you can search on a term, and then a snippt of the text containing the term shows up next to the search results (JCreator, J++, Textpad). Sometimes this is critical for me to scan a large search resultset all at once to find a problem or determine what files I need to edit. With the basic Eclipse 3.1 search engine, you have to open each file individually to see the context of the text containing the search terms.

Does any know if there is a plugin for Eclipse that offers an improved search capability? Or is there an easier way to accomplish what I want?

Thanks,

Michael

Eclipse provides functionality to find file containing searched text: select menu item 'Search', then select 'File...' item and enter searched text.

That is the worst response I have ever read on this forum, bar none. Did you even read my question? I just said that I DON'T LIKE the way Eclipse displays the search results when you use Search | File or Search | Java. Why are you telling me to do the very same thing I am saying I don't like? I want a plug-in that shows me a different view of the results than just a list of files that contain them. I want to see a text snippet of the line containing the search text next to my results so I can glance at the search results and determine whether I even need to open the file. Other IDE's do this. Please read the questions more carefully next time before posting responses like this. Anyone else?
