<div role="main"><h1>Search view</h1>
<p>Any matches are reported in the <img src="../images/command_link.png" alt="" > <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.views.showView(org.eclipse.ui.views.showView.viewId=org.eclipse.search.ui.views.SearchView)")'>Search</a> view. </p>
<p><img src="../images/searchView.png" alt="Search View" ></p>
<p>When you have completed a search and have results in the
<span class="guilabel">Search</span> view,
you can put the focus on that view and get more options on the
<span class="guilabel">Search</span> menu.
</p>
<p>
A C/C++ search can also be conducted via the context menu of selected resources and elements in the following views:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Project Explorer</li>
<li>C/C++ Projects</li>
<li>Outline view</li>
<li>Search result view</li>
</ul>
<p>The search context menu is also available in the C/C++ editor. The search is only performed if the currently selected text can be resolved to a C/C++ element.</p>
<p>The type of the selected C/C++ element defines which search context menus are available. The C/C++ editor does not constrain the list of available C/C++ searches based on the
selection. </p>
