## System Search view

The System Search view displays the results of a search based on the criteria used in the System Search page. This view (Figure 1) appears automatically when a directory search is performed. You can also open it using the Window > Show View > Other... option where it is found in the Show View dialog under the System Search category.

The System Search view displays these columns:

- Name — name of the matched file and the number of matches found within it
- Type — the file type extension (.c, .c++, etc.)
- Size — size of the file in bytes
- Date Modified — last date the file was modified
- Path — complete path to locate the file

These columns are sortable, simply click the column title to sort in ascending or descending order. Most reordering is based on strings and will be instant, but sorting by Size may take longer depending upon how many file matches have been made.
