If you have worked development team of a large project as IBM RAD
or Eclipse as the development, you would know how long it takes to
search through tens of projects.
Suppose you are trying to figure out the view or action classes having a specific string that you saw on UI. Now this string could be coming in from a json, xml, java, jsp and the list goes on and on. What increases the duration of this search is the fact that it would search in underlying dependencies as well ( jars and wars ).
What you can do to restrict the searches to loaded projects and not to underlying jar and wars ?
You can use the famous not operator ( ! ) in search box of RAD or eclipse. For example if you want search not to include underlying jars and wars enter this in File name patterns box of search dialog
!*.jar, !*.war
