Description Jesse Glick 2006-10-28 01:04:13 UTC

The usefulness of the search feature in the IDE is limited by the fact that at
half the search hits are for build products, not source files. So when I go
looking for something I need to update I have to be very careful to only open
source files, never build files. The Search dialog should at least have an
option to skip over unsharable (~ unversioned) files.

Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2006-10-30 17:24:25 UTC

While annoying, does not prevent use of the search feature.

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2007-01-24 12:56:27 UTC

Alternate UI would to grey out labels of nodes representing unversioned files.

Comment 3 Marian Petras 2007-09-12 16:24:44 UTC

I will use the approach of greying out labels of nodes representing unversioned files.

Comment 4 Marian Petras 2007-09-12 17:10:15 UTC

I just found that I fixed this together with implementation of search&replace over multiple files (issue #18237). The
file in which graying of unsharable files is enabled is utilities/src/org/netbeans/modules/search/NodeRenderer.java.

The first milestone with this bug fixed is NetBeans 6.0 M5.
