Searching in multiple buffers or directories can be slow. Searching can be greatly
sped up using indexing -- e.g. using lucene.
The only issue is that indexing must be done ahead of time. What should be indexed?
Suggestions:
1) Current open buffers
2) Last 'n' directories on which a directory search has been done
3) Current project
For (3), this feature would be most useful if jEdit had a proper "Search current project"
feature that integrated with the ProjectViewer plugin. Then all the files in the current
project could be indexed, and the index updated as files in the project changed.

Logged In: YES user_id=1205438 Originator: NO I'm building a LucenePlugin which will at least let you search through multiple directories (all the "indexable" files within those directories). Searching through open buffers sounds like a good feature of this plugin as well. I'll definitely take it into consideration. |
