CASTLE Searching is a Code Analyzer Search Tool Looking @ Everything Searching

In short, magic.

CASTLE Searching uses Apache Lucene to index your workspace files. It creates an index, like found in a book, so you can easily find related code based on searching by key phrases.

• Automatic reindexing of changed files (as changes are made within Eclipse or outside of Eclipse)
• Identifies key phases by breaking up camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case / SNAKE_CASE, and kebab-case phrases into their individual parts, such as "camel" and "case"
• Makes use of some Lucene functionality to search for the various word forms such as compare, compararing, comparison, and comparator.
• Indexes each line of code and stores metadata such as the Eclipse project, pathname, filename, extension, and line number
• Uses Lucene to handle case-insensitive user-specified "synonyms" / abbreviations and case-sensitive "acronyms"

This allows doing complex filtering with a simple query.
