That is the search that I do not like and actually one thing I never understood is why that is not just an option within CTRL-F In DW on the Find/Replace screen you can search within: Selected Text Current Document Open Documents Folder Selected Files in a Site(Project) Entire Site(Project)
Plus you have matching of case, ignoring of whitespace and use of regular expressions available. So it not is a lack of features when I compare the two in regards to their search functionality but more of how they work. Plus up until recent versions(not sure of time frame) but Eclipse did not do the return of files and placement in the code like it does do today but DW has been doing for years. That actually was a show stopper for me but obviously no longer is since Eclipse has improved on that. Although will admit searching across multiple sites in DW would be nice but that is because how only one of my applications is structured.
