Re: How to customize 'Find in Projects' dialog

The ScopeProvider code was exactly what I needed.  Thank you so much.

One last question:  How can I get all the opened projects in the project explorer?  I can get the selected projects but not all opened projects.

Thanks,

Todd Stevenson

Hej Todd,

Geertjan blogged about the search api at least twice.

The Javadoc of the API might help

Or have a look at this scopeprovider, which I provided as a patch in the past

I am scratching my head on how I can customize the ‘Find in Projects’ dialog to set the search scope to force it to only search in the subfolder where my files reside in the project.

I tried setting SearchInfoDefinition in the project Node lookup, but it doesn’t seem to see it.   I have noticed there are some classes that seem to allow the kind of customization on the ‘Find in Projects’ dialog but I can’t find any examples of how to hook it all together.

Any help?  Thank you in advance.
