You know how in Eclipse’s Preferences window (menu bar: Window –> Preferences), you have a hierarchy to browse, but you also have a text search field. And as you type into that search field, the hierarchy is filtered to show only entries matching what you typed?

I would love to see the same feature in the Package Explorer tab.
I have 100s of files in my Package Explorer hierarchy. Oftentimes I just want to type in a partial name, and see only those matching entries.

Does this feature exist? Something related, that would accomplish the same goal? (search, not browse)?

Thanks

    You can do the opposite of what you want to do. Click on the white arrow on the right of the package explorer, select Filters... and type an expression with wildcards. Eclipse will not show the resources matching this pattern.

    You can search for types in your workspace with the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T or for files in general with Ctrl+Shift+R. You can specify a pattern in the same way you can do for filters.
