Description Alexandr Scherbatiy 2006-09-06 14:50:45 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

- Create 'FeedReader' netbeans Plug-in module
  'File|New Project|Samples|Netbeans Plug-in Modules|Feed Reader'
- Reverse engineer 'FeedReader' netbeans Plug-in module
- Select UML project node and invoke 'Find in Model'
  'Find' dialog appears
- Type 'Feed' for 'Find what'
- Check 'Match whole word only'
- Press 'Find' button
  'Feed' element is found
  There is no way to navigate to model tree from the element
Comment 1 Yang Su 2007-01-04 01:10:45 UTC 
This is a very useful feature that we must support.

The current Find Dialog does not allow users to perform any actions based on
result ( other than navigating to diagram, and only if the element has
presenting diagram ), the action flow is broken, a big usability issue.

If we go with NB's style we should display search result in its designated
window, we can then provide more actions on the result nodes, e.g. "Select in
the Model", "Delete", "Navigate to Diagram" etc.
