Is there some way to get the searching in Eclipse to work like the
hyper-search in Jedit? It's the best implementation of searching I've seen
and it would be hard to write out all that it does. But part of what it
does is this: for each match, the search result shows the whole line
containing the match, showing line number and file name. When you click on
a match, you are taken to the file and the line where the match occurred.

Eric,
Thanks for the response.
Yes, one thing I find useful with the Jedit hypersearch window is the
display of the actual line text and number. Yes, what Eclipse is doing for
me right now is close. I'm not sure I follow you as far as too much screen
real estate required. On a search I just did, I'd say about 80 percent of
the horizontal real estate in the search box is unused. The vertical real
estate is already handled by the scroll bar. The size of the window is about
the same size as the window in my setup of Jedit, and there it works quite
nicely.
I also don't follow what you mean about the "not obvious what it should do
for multiple matches". There would be the line displayed for each match or
the line containing multiple matches. When it's done this way you can often
see at a glance which matches you are or are not interested in. And then to
get to a specific line, there's no scrolling or stepping involved. Just a
single click in the hypersearch window and you're there.
Another search implementation that works this way is Logos Library Search
System.

I did. Turns out I should have poked around more before I did it too. This
is the message I got back:
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 47136 ***
