I usually search for things in Eclipse with ctrl+H. This only allows me to search for text based on file name extensions though. Ctrl+F seems to only search the current document. Is there a way to search text within a package?

Ctrl + H will bring up a Search/Find dialog. One of the tabs is Java which will let you specify what exactly you are looking for e.g. Class/MNethod etc.
If you want to search in files: Ctrl + H and then choose tab File Search . If you want to search for resources: Ctrl + Shift + R . If you want to search for Java types: Ctrl + Shift + T . If you want more shortcut keys: Ctrl + Shift + L .
Upon running Eclipse you should see a pane labeled 'Package Explorer', probably on the left. If you do not see one, you can open it up by going to the Window menu, selecting Show View and Package Explorer. If it doesn't show up under Show View, select Other, then 'Java', then 'Package Explorer'.
Try: CTRL-H -> File Search, check Case Sensitive and Regular expression, and input: @[A-Z] for Containing text.

In Eclipse you can use CTRL + H to perform either a file search, task search, Git search or Java search throughout a project, workspace or even package. File search will do a text search through any files specified.
Open with Cmd-Shift-L, type your search and see results immediately. Please note: As of Eclipse 2019-09, the Quick Text Search got contributed to the Eclipse platform project, so no need to install it as a separate feature anymore. Every single Eclipse user on the planet can enjoy this feature now out-of-the-box.
This should be part of the Eclipse platform, it blows the regular text search feature out of the water. Installed it both on STS and vanilla Eclipse. With over 90 talks selected, EclipseCon has something for everyone! Join us in Ludwigsburg, Germany for our biggest event of the year.
