Description Marian Petras 2003-10-29 07:33:42 UTC 
When searching for a file by name, the search
feature should be able to search through .jar
files. It means that if a .jar file was found in a
directory being searched, the .jar file's contents
would be searched recursively.

UI (proposal):
Add a combo-box "Search .jar files recursively" to
the dialog for entering search criteria.
Comment 1 Marian Petras 2005-05-13 15:59:18 UTC 
Accepted.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2008-10-28 16:41:23 UTC 
Possibly could be considered a duplicate of issue #49387, or vice-versa. Basically, when encountering a file with MIME
type application/x-java-archive, search logic should use FileUtil.getArchiveRoot and traverse recursively as if it were
a regular folder. Also JarDataLoader.defaultActions ought to include FindAction.

Comment 4 Jaroslav Havlin 2012-10-22 13:48:57 UTC 
There is option "Search in Archives" in Find in Projects... dialog
since NetBeans 7.2.
