 <p>You can limit your search results, from the <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/reference/ref-dialog-java-search.htm" rel="nofollow">Java Search</a> tab, if you are employing Java Search in the first place.</p> <p>Searches can be limited to References, Declarations, Implementors and selected other areas of the source code, instead of All ocurrences (which might be the default in your case).</p> <p>If you are referring to plain text searches (the File Search tab), then you are out of luck.</p>
