Help search
Since Eclipse 3.1, search in the workbench has been partitioned into two
major categories: development artifact search and information search. The former
is handled by the search dialog opened from the Search menu. The later is
available from Help>Search menu item which opens the new Help view into the
Search page.
The new information search facility uses multiple search engines run in
parallel using the same search expression. Eclipse provides a number of
preconfigured search engines. New engines can be added programmatically or by
the user. All the results are collated in the Search page directly.
