<h1>C/C++ search</h1>
<p>You can conduct a fully or partially qualified name search. Further
qualifying a search increases the accuracy and relevance of search results. The
sections below provide guidance on how to control the scope of your search
through the use of search delimiters, correct syntax, and wildcards.</p>
<p>You can search for:<br>
<ul>
<li>language constructs within:
<ul>
<li>projects in your workspace</li>
<li>selected resources from various views</li>
<li>working sets</li>
</ul></li>
<li>a working set for references to particular elements</li>
<li>declarations of particular elements</li>
<li>definitions of particular elements</li>
<li>references of particular elements</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>For information on:</p>
For information on working sets, see <b>Workbench User Guide > Concepts > Workbench > Working sets</b><br>
For information on the Eclipse workspace, see <b>Workbench User Guide > Tasks > Upgrading Eclipse</b></br>
<h2>What you can search for</h2>
<p>The table below lists the element types that you can search for and special
considerations to note when searching for a given element type. You can search
for some or all of the element types matching a search string that you
specify. If you choose to search for matching elements, all types, macros, and typdefs are included in the search.</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="60%">
<tr>
<td width="19%"><b>Element</b></td>
<td width="81%"><b>Note</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="19%"> Class/Struct</td>
<td width="81%">Searches for classes and structs.<p>You can further qualify
the search by specifying "class" or "struct" in front of the name
that you are
searching for. Specifying "class" or "struct" also allows you to
search for anonymous classes and structures.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="19%"> Function</td>
<td width="81%">Searches for global functions or functions in a namespace
(functions that are not members of a class, struct, or union).<p>You can
specify parameters to further qualify your search. When specifying a
parameter list, everything between the parentheses should be valid C/C++
syntax.</p>
<p>Do not specify the return type of the function.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="19%"> Variable</td>
<td width="81%">Searches for variables that are not members of a class,
struct, or union.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="19%"> Union</td>
<td width="81%">Searches for unions.<p>Anonymous unions can be searched for by
specifying "union" as the search pattern.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="19%"> Method</td>
<td width="81%">Searches for methods that are members of a class, struct, or
union.<p>Searching for methods also finds constructors and destructors. See
above note for functions.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="19%"> Field </td>
<td width="81%">Searches for fields that are members of a class, struct, or
union.
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="19%"> Enumeration</td>
<td width="81%">Searches for enumerations.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="19%"> Enumerator</td>
<td width="81%">Searches for enumerators.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="19%"> Namespace</td>
<td width="81%">Searches for namespaces.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h2>How you can limit your search</h2>
<p>You can limit your search to one or all of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Declarations</li>
<li>References</li>
<li>Definitions (for functions, methods, variables and fields)</li>
</ul>
<p>You can control the scope of the search by specifying which of the following
is to be searched:</p>
<ul>
<li>Workspace</li>
<li>Working Set</li>
<li>Selected Resources</li>
</ul>
<h2>Wildcard characters</h2>
<p>You can use wildcard characters to further refine your search.</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="60%">
<tr>
<td width="49%"><b>Use this wildcard character</b></td>
<td width="51%"><b>To search for this</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="49%"> <samp>*</samp></td>
<td width="51%">Any string<p><b>Tip:<br>
</b> Use the character <samp>*</samp> to search for
operators that begin with *. See syntax examples in the table below.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="49%"> <samp>?</samp></td>
<td width="51%">A single character</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="49%"> <samp>::</samp></td>
<td width="51%">Nested elements</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><b>Tip: </b>Do not use wild cards between the brackets of a function or
method pattern. For example, the search
string <samp>f( * )</samp> is an invalid search that results in a search for any function <samp>f</samp>
because
the asterisk is interpreted as a pointer rather than a wild card.</p>
<h2>Syntax examples</h2>
<p>The table below provides syntax examples and an explanation for each example
to help you conduct an effective search.</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="60%" height="400">

<td width="36%" height="32">Any two-letter name that begins with A and is two levels
deep</td>
