When using the search function in Eclipse, especially, for example, a Java method or field, a link in the workspace. (Control + Shift + G) when the cursor is on a method, say.
As you have your search results, you display a single-line view. (Think like any other search tool I've used can offer from grep to Visual Studio?)
If I search for a “bit of text” (without using the area syntax analysis provided by the search for “links”, it suggests it), but it may not seem like when searching for links.
(Which, for example, for some class variables, such as public double x
, is simply absolutely critically useful against a sea of false listings that appear in search of something like "x")

Refining my question with an example:
The attached screenshot1 contains 111 references to the getHeight()
method. But, not pop pop pop, jumping from entrance to entrance, is there no way to see them?
Screenshot A: 
(not allowing me to turn it on directly due to some weird, curious dumb annoying thing about the account ...)
Whereas if I search (in the workspace) for getHeight()
using File Search as raw text (filtered and filtered for *.java
), pay attention to 560 matches or 449 “false positives”, compared to the area in which I am really interested. However, look at least what the search dialog looks like! (Yes). Offers me a quick "line preview" of each entry.
. And screenshot B here:
.
How can I get a preview of the string shown in screenshot B, but for those 111 matches (the ones that interest me in this example) on the Search by Search for Scope tab on the Search in Java dialog box in the Search dialog box?

I looked and looked, tried extensions, dug settings settings and couldn’t understand how to “enable” this preview of strings for search, where it is “limited” “Links”
