Hi,

well, hum, it is not that hard...

1)select a file in your project
2)go the the search menu / search (ctrl + H)
3)in "containing text", put your search string
4)in "scope", select "enclosed project" (to search only on the current
project, or "workspace" to search for all files. Alternatively, click on
"working set", then "choose" then "new". You can them select all the
projects or individual files that interest you
5)click "search" or on "replace" The search results appear in a new
window and the "replace" dialog box let you process entry by entry, file
by file.
