Open CustomSearch Page Tab within Default Eclipse Search Page [message #1474209]

Hello Experts,

I have contributed to Eclipse Search Page using Extension point SearchPages. I can see my custom search page tab in Eclipse search (Ctrl + H).But when i open Search from menu or by pressing Ctrl + H it always opens File Search tab.I want to open my newly created custom search tab on action of some button.For which i think i need unique ID for my custom page.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Search tab is context-sensitive.
When you selected a java file and hit Ctrl+H, Search dialog shows "Java Search". When you selected a plugin.xml and hit Ctrl+H, Search dialog shows "Plug-in Search". Others as well.
For files, you can set "extensions" in the extension point. Otherwise you need to implement "ISearchPageScoreComputer". See API documents.
If you'd like to have a custom button only for opening search dialog with your custom tab, see OpenSearchDialogAction(IWorkbenchWindow window, String pageId). (pageId is the "id" of org.eclipse.search.searchPages/page)
