How to search within specific object type (or other advanced searches) in ADT

How can I search a specific object type in an ABAP project in ADT.

For example I can in GUI search

  • All function modules with name "z*trace*" in SE37
  • All programs with name "SAPMZ*" in SE38
  • All classes with name "ZCL_*", with short description "CATS:*" and last changed by user "my_user"
  • etc

In eclips I only know the CTRL+h search and that is not very usefull.

Do I have other better options in Eclipse/ADT than CTRL+h

Which options described in online help did you alreadt try?

I already tried CTRL+H and CTRL+SHIPT+A, but I don't see they are usefull. The other options mentioned in the link are not relevant.

In my question I gave a short number of examples where I don't see I can use those two options.
For example I know I have a class that starts with ZCL in the object name and I know the the short texts contains "cat".

Can I find this class with CTRL+H or CTRL+SHIFT+A ?

Can I combine search criteria? 

  1. I want only to search classes
  2. The class name must start with ZCL
  3. The short text of the class must contain "cat"

Kind Regards Thomas

A more concrete example:

I found I can combine search on name zcl with type:clas to get below result, but I only want to see results where the short text contain the word Rental.How can I do that?

Thank you Raymond.

I already read the docu and blog you mention, but somehow it is not totally the same as my system. I guess this is because of different versions.

The docu shows a search field called Property filter

...but that does not exist in my version

I still enter property filter like this example:

but I can't find the property for short text.

Kind regards Thomas
