Netbeans does have a search feature that is pretty good. It may not be
an indexed search, but more like 'grep' that works well with small
projects.
OpenGrok for now does not do anything special for Java - it uses the
same code to look at Java that it uses for C. For now Netbean's search
is more accurate than OpenGrok's. i.e if you search for
foo.toStrings()'s definition, it takes you to the declaration of
toString() method in class Foo. OpenGrok returns all definitions of
toString(). This should change when a better JavaAnalyzer is written.
What I would like to see in Netbeans is an always available search box.
(like the search box in Firefox)
BTW, OpenGroks logo is {OpenGrok - with an 'open'ing brace :-) used in
most programing languages to begin a block
