Does Eclipse have a way to search a whole project for some text like Xcode's "find in project" feature?

The Eclipse search dialog box allows you to search for files that contain a literal or a character pattern in the entire workspace, a set of projects, a specific project or folders selects in the package explorer view. Clicking on the Search menu and selecting Search or File or Java. Clicking Ctrl + H.
Press Ctrl + H , should bring up the search that will include options to search via project, directory, etc. Ctrl + Alt + G can be used to find selected text across a workspace in eclipse.
ctrl+o ( cmd+o ) opens the quick outline where you can search for a method within the current class. Pressing ctrl+o again extends the search scope to the complete class hierarchy.
To get there, we go to the menu under Navigate > Open Type in Hierarchy or we use the shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + H on a PC or Cmd + Shift + H on a Mac. This dialog is similar to the Open Type dialog. Except for this time when we click on a class, then we get the Type Hierarchy view.
Ctrl + Alt + G can be used to find selected text across a workspace in eclipse.
OSX: ⌥ Option + ⌘ Command + G
