Find struct variable in C/C++ search [message #1859208]

Hi,
Eclipse is providing the smart search i.e., C/C++ search which searches the active code in the files. It differentiates the search results highlighting based on the expression. This is awesome and improves the productivity. But, here I am facing one issue that I am not able to find the structure variable in code.

For example:
Person.name is a structure variable1, Person_1.name. Using C/C++ search I can find the variable name and it will highlight both variables but I can't search the Person.name. How can I do that?

What I've found to work is to try searching for the structure and the variable as a single string, like "Person.name" without the quotes. Eclipse should then be able to find instances of that structure variable in your code. I know it's not ideal, especially if you're working with a lot of similarly named structures and variables, but it's a workaround that usually gets the job done for me.
