Question

I use the eclipse File Search option very much to search all files in my workspace for a certain content. But how do I specify that it should only return hits from a fixed search criteria? As an example I would like to find all occurrences of the string:

com.mystuff.data

but I also get all the hits for:

com.mystuff.data.ui

How do I make a “this-string-only-search” when searching files in my workspace??

If I understand you correctly, Eclipse don’t provide option to search exact word.
You can use regular expression for it.
You can use \bSearchKeyword\b to find exact word.
