Chapter 10: Searching and Creating Javadoc Documentation
press CTRL+F1 or choose Javadoc Index Search from the Help menu.
The Javadoc Search Tool will then begin searching for your string.
Search dialog box
The top part of the Javadoc Search Tool dialog box has a combo box for selecting or typing
the search string and a Find button for starting the search (after the search is started, it
changes to Stop).
Next to the Find button is the Show Source button, which you can click to open the source file
in the Editor, assuming the source is mounted in Filesystems.
The three icons to the right of the Show Source icon serve as toggles for sorting the pages
found. Selecting the first sorts the items alphabetically, selecting the second sorts by package
and alphabetically, and the third sorts by element (exceptions, classes, constructors, and so
on).
To the right of the sort icons is the HTML Viewer toggle button, which you can click to turn on
or turn off the right pane.
Below the combo box and icons are two panes. The first pane displays the list of pages found
in the search, and the second pane shows the page selected in the first pane. The left pane can
be expanded to cover the whole dialog box area by deselecting the icon to the right of the sort
icons. The size of the panes can be changed by dragging the divider in the center.
If you double-click on a page in the left panel, it opens in a separate web browser window.
