Developer guide - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=180106
- What are the version / distribution requirements
None, provided your eclipse is not too old. If you find incompatibilities, file a bug.
- I wish to contribute
You're welcome! Follow the standard drill. It's easiest to open a bug with a patch, or write directly to e4-dev@eclipse.org
- Why am i seeing search types that do nothing?
Because it's work in progress. These are the compatibility search types, which adapt the extensions contributed to the org.eclipse.search.searchPages extension point, to the Search console framework.
- How can I disable the compatibility search types?
Just deselect the Compatibility feature when installing. This is available from integration build I20110630-1005 afterwards.
