When I use Find/Replace in Eclipse (Helios Service Release 2), it does not find the words above my current location even it reaches to the end of file and I have to set Direction to Backward.
I remember the eclipse (maybe indigo) was returning to the beginning of file when it reached to the end.
Is there any setting for this?
Search->File menu (also accessible using Ctrl+H , then navigate to File tab), enter the text to search for, hit the Replace... button which will give you another dialog where you can replace text.
Press Ctrl + H or look in the Search menu for Search>Search or Search>File depending on version. At bottom of dialog box, click Replace... There you'll find the replace in files functionality.
Press Ctrl + J or Ctrl + Shift + J to go to the next or previous match. Press Enter or Esc to exit incremental find mode.
As you have already found the answer. Just adding the official page which describes this feature in eclipse.There is a wrap search option for this.
From the docs:-
Select the Wrap Search checkbox if you want the dialog to continue from the top of the file once the bottom is reached (if you find / replace in Selected Lines only, then this option applies to those lines only)
Below is the screen shot for the same:-
According to the greg-449's answer: There is the 'Wrap search' option on the Find/Replace dialog itself.
