InstaSearch is an Eclipse plug-in for doing fast text search in the workspace. The search is performed instantly as-you-type and resulting files are displayed in an Eclipse view. It is a lightweight plug-in based on Apache Lucene search engine.

Each file then can be previewed using few most matching and relevant lines. A double-click on the match leads to the matching line in the file.

excellent plug-in

It's fast as hell and the author is very responsive to community suggestions and bug reports. If you have any issue create a ticket at the project's website and it will be resolved quickly.

It's on a good way to become a replacement for the default file search.

Thank you!

how i use it?

hi. How I use InstaSearch after instainstalling? I can't assign key to InstaSearch, can't open InstaSearch view :-( I use Zend Studio 7.2.

Thank you for tips. Tom.

Java version

Hi Tom,
The new version of the plug-in should run on Zend studio since Java 1.5 is now sufficient.

I like it

It's really instant and it searches through all the files in the project. I really needed this plug-in. Great job!
