[ BUILD # : 200807040101 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ] If I try to find something in a project that there is more than approximately 5000 matches, the search is stopped. For example, try to search for 'a' in a big project, just some files is listed. One thing that I understand is that when 5000 matches are found, the search just finish the current file been scanned, what means that the final matches count is not exactly 5000, but something more that it. I understand that it can be a feature, but any advise is showed, and the users think that ALL occurrences was found, what is not true. For me, there is 2 options: 1-Search for all occurrences; 2-Advise user about not all files was scanned.
The current behaviour is totally misleading and should definitely be changed.
I will change it such that the user is informed of the limit reached.
Fixed. If some limit is reached during the search, the search is interrupted and a message about the limit is added to the root node of search results. Changeset id: bb22a4eb3aa7 (http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/bb22a4eb3aa7)
