Do you have any links or postings that give some tips on searching? Do you use search>search... or edit>find/replace...? I am very very new to eclipse and I can't seem to get it do anything I like. Can you show the context of the results? Can you get the search results window to come up for just the current file or all open files?
To add a comment about multi-line search & replace, I know you can use the regex to handle the tabs, newlines etc but the main benefit to me about the multiline is being able to cut and paste. I think my most common task is using it to reformat a file.
