Class Browser Search Parameters

Search fields

Search fields are used to enter names of methods and classes for searching. These parameters can be entered respectively in the first and the second field. Project list allows you to select a project and the session assigned to it, which will be searched through.

While typing the names of methods and classes you can use Emacs-like meta characters:

• ^ - will find all elements that start with string which follows that character
• $ - will find all elements that end with string which precedes that character

For instance:
^new entered in the first field will find all methods whose names start with new,
new$ entered in the first field will find all methods whose names ends with new,
^new$ entered in the first field will find all methods whose names are exactly new,

Note: You can precede name of the class with the name of its package as well. Meta characters cannot be used in the name of the package.
