Searching Eclipse Sources

Eclipse Search

It was during 2007 Eclipse Awards I guess. When I Googled for Eclipse Awards, I ended up with more results on horse racing than our Eclipse Awards. (Its much better now, that the result I wanted is at least in the first page) I thought how good, if we can filter out only "our" eclipse related results. Soon after that I created a custom search engine, which does that filtering. After that, I always search with that. Recently Google introduced Labels and Refinements to the Custom Search Engine. I tried adding few labels and it works nicely. For example, if I want to search for Cheat Sheet, I get a whole lot of results. All of them are relevant.



I can filter them with the labels, so I can see what blogs are available, the source code, the documentation or even the images that are related to Cheat Sheets.



I've added many of the sites and blogs (Thanks to Planet Eclipse, I can find them in one place) to this search engine, in case your favorite site/blog doesn't appear in the results, I might have missed it out. Let me know, I'll add them.

You can try out the Eclipse Search and find yourself the usefulness of it
