Summary: The Find feature is a very important feature in Eclipse, providing rich search results, user-friendly results, and convenient positioning, as well as viewing the search history (the number of users can configure history) and re-running the Find function using the last condition. The Eclipse3.4 plugin development version offers four search features, including file lookups, task lookups, Java lookups and plug-in lookups, and IBM RSA (Rational software Architect) provides up to eight search capabilities, so how to scale Eclipse's look-up capabilities, and the ability to find features specific to our own plug-ins, are important skills that plug-in developers need to master, and this article will first outline the look-up capabilities of eclipse, and then explain in detail how to extend the lookup functionality, including the extension points and the interfaces and functions involved Finally, an example is given to guide the reader in-depth understanding of Eclipse's lookup capabilities.
