1. Overview

After completing a search the Search View will be shown with an overview of all found matches. If you cannot see this view, go to Window > Show View > Search or Window > Show View > Other... and select the Search View.

The view consists of two parts, the local toolbar (1) positioned next to the tab and the content area containing the matches (2). You can handle, move, minimize and maximize the view using the tab. For example, double clicking the tab will maximize the view when it's not already maximized and vice versa.

2. Local Toolbar

The local toolbar displays actions that can be executed upon a certain match or the whole content of the content area. Here is a quick overview of all the possible actions.
