User problem: ----------------------------------- The Find in Files functionality is not very well integrated with the window system, specifically the results being displayed in a separate window make it complicated to open several find result locations and search through them. User need: ----------------------------------- The Find in Files tool needs be be well integrated into the common usage workflow. Product requirement: ----------------------------------- The Find in Files functionality needs to be better integrated into the workflow - both the dialog for entering the search data, and (more importantly) the results. Possibly integrated with the output window the same way as Visual Studio does.
In NetBeans 4.0, the Search Results window is displayed in the space for Output Window. It is no longer a separate window, it is docked into the main window. Marking as FIXED.
