You can also use incremental find by pressing <b>Ctrl+J</b> (<b>Edit > Incremental Find</b>). In this case, the text you type appears in the Status Line at the bottom of the Eclipse window. </p> <p class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note: </span> The settings in the <b>Find/Replace</b> dialog do not affect the operation of incremental find in the Status Line.</p> <p> <img src="../images/rh03_04.gif" ALT="IBM Copyright Statement"><br> <img src="../images/ng00_04a.gif" ALT="IBM Copyright Statement" > </p> </body> </html>
