Yutaka,

I don’t see how. The search plug in provides me the file name and line position, but that the actual text of the line. In my task, I needed to search for a certain word that was used in variety of ways, and then edit only a particular usage. Looking at the context of the usage was the only way to determine which matches where the ones I wanted. The Search plugin only gives me the filename, and I see no options to change that output.

The Find Dialog box Extract gave me the text, but not the file name. Find in Files provides both of values, and allows me to quickly scan all the possible matches, click on the ones that need changed, and go directly to that line. That is the functionality I was looking for, but Find in Files casts too broad a net. It is not possible, as far as I could see, to only look in the Open Documents.

Thanks,
Paul
