This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
If you search by using the right click on the left navigator the search results box shows up on the bottom of the screen without an easy way of navigating the results. If you always have to click on the next link this can become combersome because you are going from the list to the scroll bar. There should be a key that will take you to the next match for this search. Also, highlighting the matches like doing a search from the f3 search dialog would be nice.
If I understand correctly, you want a shortcut that would effectively do the following actions at once: - activate the Search Results window - select the next node - jump to the location as defined by the node As regards highlighting the matches - that should be implemented today or tomorrow.
Yes what you said. Currently Eclipse does this with an icon on the search bar in the search results window. To make NetBeans a better product though a key stroke with an icon/button would be better, but the forward and backwards selecting is important. Also, a list of previous searches would be nice :)
A list of previous searches (aka search history) was added to the Find dialog just yesterday.

*** Issue 124303 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Copied from issue 124303: Please provide keyboard shortcuts, or assignable actions, to move through the results from the Search Results output window, similar to what Ctrl+PERIOD/Ctrl+COMMA (Next Error/Previous Error) do for the (build) Output window.
Implemented in the trunk.
